Our Wines
-
Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Produced from a tiny crop of specially selected grapes, our Cabernet Sauvignon is awash with flavours of the forest, red berries, and blackcurrants as well as tones of cigar box and leather.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is made from two of our best vineyards on the farm. Exceptionally low yields with small berries create a concentrated wine. Aged for 14 months in French oak. A good portion of new oak creates a wine with good tannins and flavours of black current and cigar box.
-
Chenin Blanc 2023
Dried fruit with tones of citrus interwoven with creamy toasted butterscotch. This rich, full-bodied wine will go well with chicken and veal dishes, as well as creamy sauces. The new vintage displays intense citrus and granny smith tones and a rich lees character. The 70-year-old vines create a fruity taste that really stands out!
We are so blessed with our 4 hectares of Old Vine Chenin Blanc. With good grapes and a winemaker that has a special love for this cultivar you can only produce great wine. A combination of oak and stainless-steel fermentation creates a wine packed with tropical flavour, dried fruit, white peach with hints of vanilla. These flavours follow through to a creamy palate with fresh acidity.

Scaramanga Red 2022
Aromas of leather and blackcurrant that extend into the palate, mingling with sweet berries and pepper. An extended finish lingering over soft ripe tannins. This is a big wine. Enjoy with tapas to keep the Spanish Tempranillo at home.
One of Nabygelegen flagship red wines. The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Tempranillo makes this blend just as unique as its name. The blend gave me, as a winemaker, freedom to make a style of wine that I personally love to drink. The wine is powerful with combinations of flavours like sweet berries, plum, oak, dark chocolate, and leather. The palate is rich, ripe and smooth. Really fantastic wine.
