Averaging R5400 the @Saronsberg CWG Shiraz Reserve 2015- Meaty dark fruit profile, peppery notes and a hint of eucalyptus, savory and almost robust although Ramon is finely textured. Drink in 6-8 years. 95/100 @CapeWinemakersG #CWGAuction

Love this! @RianieStrydom FamilyWines The Game Changer Cabernet Franc-Merlot 2015- Modern, perfect ripeness with red fruit and herbal notes belonging to the Franc. Distinct and pure fruit. Super smart! Age 5-8 years. 96/100. @CapeWinemakersG #CWGAuction

A favorite of ours... @NewtonJohnsonSA Windansea Pinot Noir 2017- Perfumed and elegant, soft red fruit, modern yet earthy and deep great purity and length. Lay down 6-18 years. 97/100. Out of the gate at #CWGAuction at R7,600/case! @CapeWinemakersG #capewinelands

And it’s gone! @Cederwine Teen Die Hoog Shiraz 2015- Lighter and brighter than previous vintages. Slightly subdued , balanced with fine high tannin. Keep 6-10 years. 95/100 @CapeWinemakersG #CWGAuction #capewinelands

Super excited! Up next... @SpierWineFarm Frans K Smit 20 Year Celebration 2015- Dense dark fruit, supported by a very appealing Cab Franc- herbal note and complex spice. Seriously wooded. Age 8-15 years. 95/100 @CapeWinemakersG #CWGAuction @joakimsomm

Nice one! @leRicheWines out of the gate at R10.4k them up to R11.4k! Exciting day at the #CWGAuction @CapeWinemakersG @SpierWineFarm

And the first block of Nicky Versfeld Mia Semillon 2017 goes for over R3k! Slightly oxidative notes, yellow fruit, viscous, juicy and concentrated , notable lees and wood notes. Lay down for 3-6 years. 96/100 @joakimsomm @CapeWinemakersG #capewinemakersguild

Great showing this morning!

Up next... @HartenbergWine CWG Auction Shiraz 2015- Earthy and muscular like normal with iron-bloody notes, smoother and finer tannins than most vintages and will drink earlier than normal. Keep 8-12 years. 95/100 @CapeWinemakersG

One of our picks from @joakimsomm, next for auction @ErnieElsWinery CWG 2015- Deep and spicy dark fruit with clear violet-sense-Of-place in Louis wines. Cedar, cassis leaf and seriously structured yet reigned back to be fresher and more refined than previous. Age 10-15. 96/100
