Description
The Wolftrap Red is a blend of Syrah and Mouvedre with just a dash of Viognier. This opulent red is always great value, giving lots of ripe dark fruits mingled with touches of cardamon, clove and black pepper spice. Perfumed bramble, blackberry and liquorice flavours intertwine with a more savoury edge on the silky palate. Well-balanced with whiffs of oak on the finish make for a hugely enjoyable wine.
The Wolftrap is a tribute to the pioneers who in the early days ventured into the Cape wilderness and erected a wolf trap on Boekenhoutskloof. To date no wolf, either real or mystical, has been seen in the valley.

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.

2021 Promis Ca Marcanda, Gaja, IGT Toscana
Merlot
The Ca Marcanda Promis is a complex wine with an undeniable elegance. The nose is rich and concentrated, with blueberry, liquorice and cocoa hints. It starts fresh and then develops balsamic notes and scents of graphite, before becoming more mellow in character with a rhubarb and menthol note. The palate is voluminous with fine-grained and silky tannins on the finish.
