Marc Kent
Good balance between concentrated fruit, herbs and vanilla. Soft finish with finished tannins. Nuances of berries, dark red fruit, pepper and herbs.
It was rumored that Boekenhoutskloof actually mixed chocolate through the wine but that's nonsense. This is the ultimate blend wine, where no less than 5 grape varieties have been used. The plots where the grapes come from are also far apart. The idea is that they are looking for the very best grapes wherever they might grow. Another example of a cult wine with this philosophy is Grange from Australia, whose grapes can come from all over South Australia.

Bold
Powerful, full-bodied and intense. Think dark fruit, ripe tannins, spice and a long finish. For those who like their reds with plenty of character.
For example: Bordeaux · Barolo · Cabernet Sauvignon
Smooth
Rich, round and silky. Ripe fruit, soft tannins and often a warm, spicy character. Easy to love, but never boring.
For example: Merlot · Tempranillo · Primitivo
Juicy
Fresh, fruity and wonderfully smooth. Packed with red fruit, gentle tannins and seriously easy to drink. These are reds you can even enjoy slightly chilled.
For example: Pinot Noir · Gamay · Zweigelt
Sweet-Fortified
Rich, sweet and intense. From velvety dessert wines to powerful fortified classics, with flavours of dried fruit, nuts and spice.
For example: Port · Madeira · Banyuls
Rosy
From pale, crisp and dry to juicy, fruity and expressive. Rosé has far more to offer than just a sunny terrace. Discover the style that suits you.
For example: Provence · Grenache · Cinsault
Fresh
Crisp, vibrant and refreshing. Think citrus, green apple, minerality and lively acidity. Perfect if you like your whites bright and zesty.
For example: Sauvignon Blanc · Albariño · Picpoul
Rich
Full-bodied, rich and complex. White wines with plenty of texture, ripe fruit and sometimes creamy, buttery or oaky notes. For those who like a little more weight in their glass.
For example: Chardonnay · Viognier · White Rhône
Mellow
Soft, aromatic and inviting. Fruity and floral wines with plenty of fragrance, a rounded character and often a subtle hint of spice.
For example: Riesling · Gewürztraminer · Pinot Gris
Sparkling
Bubbles! From crisp, fresh and citrusy to rich, creamy and refined. Perfect as an aperitif, for something worth celebrating, or simply because sparkling wine is always a good idea.
For example: Champagne · Cava · Crémant
Orange
White wine with a twist. Made from white grapes that ferment with their skins, just like red wine. This adds texture, grip and more pronounced flavours. Sometimes funky, sometimes surprisingly refined.
For example: Ribolla Gialla · Rkatsiteli · Malvasia
Mystery
No label, no preconceptions. Just you and the glass. Smell, taste and try to guess the grape, country or region. Maybe you'll nail it straight away. Maybe you'll be completely wrong. That's all part of the fun.
