Pierneef Shiraz/ Viognier
Cellarmaster s Impressions:
The intense violet colour of this wine reflects a season that was excellent for Shiraz. Blueberry and stewed plum fruits are surrounded by pepper, clove and liquorice spices. The best characteristic of this wine is the generous palate with layered concentration and chalky tannins. The balance is harmonious.
Connoisseur s Choice:
An innovative blend like this lends itself to exciting adventures with a variety of foods. Harmonises beautifully with duck, smoked chicken, aromatic foods, venison, roast lamb or beef and spicy pates. Also perfect on its own.

Pierneef Sauvignon Blanc
This is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc and was made from the fourth production of grapes from one vineyard in the Walker Bay area close to the town Bot River. The slope faces south-west and is situated approximately 10 kilometres from the Indian Ocean.
Cellarmaster s Impressions:
The wine has a pale straw colour with a light green tint. It shows a rich complexity of tropical fruit flavours such as passion fruit, melon, apples and litchi. There are also hints of fynbos, the natural vegetation on the farm. On the palate there are lime and gooseberry flavours, complemented by a firm structure and refreshing acidity. The wine has a persistent mineral finish.
Connoisseur s Choice:
A refreshing aperitif and perfect with salads, sea foods, seafood pasta and spicy foods such as Chinese and Thai dishes.
