02 - Tasting Portrait

Stand among
the vines.

  • NoseLush and inviting — ripe guava and pineapple, a ripe yellow apple sweetness, the tropical generosity Colombard finds in the desert heat.
  • PalateA gentle, easy sweetness held in balance by Colombard's natural freshness, so it stays lively rather than heavy. Tropical fruit and soft pear, bright and uncomplicated.
  • FinishClean and fruity, off-dry, leaving just enough freshness to keep you reaching for the glass on a warm evening.

The living land

The Kalahari on the Bottle

This bottle carries the solitary sentinel of the rocky hills—the quiver tree, or Aloidendron dichotomum. Revered across the Northern Cape for its stark silhouette and golden winter blooms, the kokerboom gathers sweetness in an unforgiving climate, drawing life from ancient granite and wide, open sky.

That quiet generosity is the inspiration behind this vintage. Kokerboom is our semi-sweet white—aromatic, gentle, and softly rounded, offering a touch of golden richness against the heat of the day. Painted in ink and watercolour by our fourth-generation winemaker, the illustration captures the tree as it stands on the rocky ridges above the river: rooted deep, arms open, weathered yet thriving.

Slow it down,
a little.

Serve

A gently sweet white that asks only to be served cold and shared.

  • Properly chilled, 8–10 °C — the cold balances the sweetness and keeps the tropical fruit fresh rather than heavy.
  • Over ice on a hot day — no apology needed; a cube or two suits it on the stoep.
  • In a generous glass — room for the guava and pineapple to lift.
Pair with

Friendly with spice and with the table at large:

  • Mild curries, Thai and Cape-Malay dishes — the touch of sweetness cools the heat.
  • Fresh fruit, soft cheeses, or a fruit tart.
  • Spicy charcuterie or a peppery boerewors roll.
