The return of an old friend. Erik & Liesbet’s Chenin Blanc was the only one to hit the spot for me when we first visited South Africa. This new 2019 vintage is in. Hues of fresh, green edges make the colour very inviting. The nose is almost spicy and minerally at the same time. The palate is complex; dry and minerally but still quite rich. A very satisfying white wine.

Selected from the best parts of the vineyard, this is a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Mourverdre. Each varietal is kept apart and aged in 500 litre oak barrels for 12 months. Only then do they decide upon the final blend. Once made, the finished wine is aged for yet another 12 months in those same barrels before bottling. Only 10% of the barrels are new wood, so there’s no “in your face ” oakiness here!
Diane only releases this wine if she feels it is up to her highest standards of quality. So, no 2002 vintage ‘ it was all sold off in bulk to the ‘négociants’. The 2003 vintage was a cracker. No 2004 vintage either; that, too, was not good enough, the 2005, 2007 and 2009s brilliant…as was the 2011.
And then along came the equally scrumptious 2103, and the super 2015 and the fab 2017, and now the 2020. What more can I say? Drink now to 2029 (really!)

One of Diane’s 100% varietal wines showcasing the best of the local varieties. Made from 100% Grenache grapes from very old vines and aged in barrels for eight months. It’s difficult to find new words for a new wine from Diane as they are all just so good! This is no exception; rich with fruit and depth of colour, and a house-style 14.5% completes its elegant balance. Drink now to 2028.

A single bottle of 1990 Vintage Armagnac from Domaine Laffitte in Gascony.
So, if you;
are 34 this year
have been married 34 years
have just finished a 34 year stretch at Wormwood Scrubs
this might be a rather special way to mark the occasion.
