2006  Sebeka Cabernet Pinotage
South Africa - Western Cape

The key to this blend is balance. The Cabernet gives it typical blackberry, currant and herbal notes. The Pinotage gives it the undeniable smoky character made famous by South Africa’s native varietal. Rich and full-bodied. Holds its own next to fire-grilled meats.

Of note: The Cabernet and Pinotage grapes were crushed and fermented separately. Winemaker Andries Blake then tasted the final wines and settled on a rich blend of 64% Cabernet and 36% Pinotage for this well-balanced vintage.

2006  Sebeka Chardonnay
South Africa - Western Cape

Here is South Africa’s version of a great New World Chardonnay: fruit-driven, layers of citrus, apple and peach flavors. A hint of vanilla and a creamy texture. Winemaker Andries Blake set aside a third of the wine for malolactic fermentation, giving it a subtle richness. He also blended in a little Viognier, Semillon and Steen (South Africa’s Chenin Blanc) for complexity.

This Chardonnay loves food. We love it with fish. Give the seafood a touch of Cajun spice to balance the creaminess in the wine.

2007  Sebeka Sauvignon Blanc
South Africa - Western Cape

Sebeka, named for a South African cheetah, aims to evoke the natural beauty of the land in its wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the cool climate vineyards in Breedekloof along the Western Cape. Fog from the cold ocean currents moving north from Antarctica and “Cape Doctor” cross winds from the Indian Ocean converge here to bring intense flavors to the grapes.

Fruit-forward style, with gooseberry, tropical fruit and herbal notes. Crisp and balanced. A subtle minerality on the finish.

2006  Sebeka Shiraz
South Africa - Western Cape

Winemaker Andries Blake used grapes from several growing areas throughout the Western Cape for this Shiraz. The deep, rich colors and bright fruit flavors from some of the warmer vineyard districts shine through in the bottle: jammy blackberry, dark cherry, earthy notes. Subtle hints of brown spice, cinnamon and toasted oak woven throughout.

Malolactic fermentation gave the blend a rich texture. Blake added a touch of Merlot for layered complexity. This one stays with you.

2006  Sebeka Shiraz Pinotage "Cape Blend"
South Africa - Western Cape

This is one of two blends in the Sebeka lineup that incorporates South Africa’s signature varietal, Pinotage. The local grape lends a smoky character to the jammy blackberry flavors of the Shiraz. Winemaker Andries Blake used grapes from diverse growing areas throughout the Western Cape to give the finished wine depth and complexity.

Blackberry, cherry, red fruit and smoky earth flavors. A nice acidity tempered by a rich mouthfeel from malolactic fermentation.
