TSW Syrah Reserve 2016

Trizanne Barnard started her

business, Trizanne Signature

Wines, in 2008. This 2016 Syrah

from Elim is a typical cool-climate

Syrah relying more on spice and

perfume than full body and ripe

fruit. There are aromas of wild

strawberry, cranberry and violets,

nicely integrated with oak and

Cabernet Sauvignon (35%) and

Cabernet Franc (15%) – has

nuances of fresh cranberry and

wild black cherry, evolving into

delicate hazelnut truffle chocolate

with a silky, smooth lingering

texture.R184.99

6 Cape Point

Sauvignon Blanc 2018

The grapes for the Cape Point

wines are harvested on high-lying

slopes overlooking Noordhoek’s

coastline. All of winemaker

Riandri Visser’s wines have an

invigorating freshness and almost

saline minerality, due to their

proximity to the cold Atlantic.

This Sauvignon Blanc shows

aromatic citrus and lemon zest

with a bright floral note on the

nose, while the palate is racy and

fruit-focused with a crisp, salty

finish. R99.99

Allan Mullins has

been selecting

wines for Woolies

for almost 30

years. Find these
