Vintage 2015 | what a difference a year makes! A year ago some sharp and disturbing edges, and now: lovely wine with nice expressions of spices and flint, great balance and looking forward to another glass. | Paired with a schnitzel and mixed vegetable stew from the oven.

Vintage 2015 / 80% xinomavro, so high acidity. Hmmm, a bit sharp in smell, don’t know what it is... Good combination with our ‘boerenkool’ Wednesday - Meatballsday (14)

Vintage 2012 - combination of local grape xinomavro and well known merlot. The smell gives flint and minerals. Slightly bitter in initial taste, almonds and a bit stubborn. I prefer this wine with diner.

Another great wine we brought back from Greece this year. I would definitely age this a few more years. Dry. Earthy. Paired will with short ribs and potatoes.

Sweet start. Mouth watering mid taste. Clean finish.
