Posted by admin 05.20.2011 No Comments

The latest addition to the John B range. This carbonated Chardonnay Brut is extremely user friendly and a perfect foil for those ‘champagne breakfasts’, welcome drinks at conferences, weddings and frankly just a damn good way to start a day!!!
This is an exciting and lively dry sparkling wine expressing flavours of fresh citrus and orange blossom. The pallet reveals green apple flavours and is full-bodied with a good balancing acidity and finishes with a lingering, yeasty aftertaste.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON / TINTA BAROCCA 2010
If you are looking for a Smooth, Soft and Easy Drinking Red Wine…then you have picked the right wine. When you dont want a heavy Red as a welcome drink in Winter or just a good glass of Red with your Steak, Pizza or Pasta. You can even put it in the fridge on a HOT summer day, chill it down and crack it open…

This is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Tinta Barocca (The famous Portuguese Port vine). A wine with lots of attractive fruit flavours on the nose and which also carries through nicely on the palate with a hint of spiciness. It is smooth and well balanced with a touch of toastiness and lingering aftertaste.

ROSé 2011
Look out for the 2012 vintage to be released end of March.

Pink drinks are for girls they say… well guys we all know that’s not true so don’t be shy. This is a more serious Rosé and is made for everyone to enjoy. It is made in a dry style even though it has a lovely sweet berry bouquet. Rosé is a wonderful Food Companion and you can enjoy this with almost anything from spicy food to salmon.

This rosé is made from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. The wine has a lovely floral bouquet expressing a mixture of berry-fruit flavours which carries through to the palate leaving a long-lasting aftertaste… A fresh, fruity dry rosé for everyday enjoyment.

RIESLING 2012

RIESLING 2011
The 2012 vintage will be bottled and released end of March.

Classified as semi-sweet but definitely not too sweet. In fact it tastes more off dry than semi-sweet so dont be scared to try this ‘fruit-salad-in-a-glass’ wine. It has a low alcohol of 11% and partners extremely well with spicy, asian food.

A slightly sweet Riesling showing lots of fruit and a lively spiciness. The wine is well balanced by a firm acidity which lingers pleasantly on the palate. A lovely, fruity, light in alcohol, everyday and every occasion drinking wine.

SAUVIGNON BLANC / COLOMBAR 2011
The first 2012 vintage wine to be bottled in South Africa… and the world for that matter!!!

The wine has a lovely floral bouquet with intense fruit flavours on the palate and a well balanced acidity which makes for a zesty, long-lasting aftertaste. A fresh, fruity dry wine for everyday enjoyment with a Low Alcohol to make you want to sip even longer. Drink this wine as a welcoming drink, chill it down really well and keep the glasses full. It is a wonderful summer patio and Braai (BBQ) Wine…
