I have been thoroughly enjoying this wine during the year and it is running out fast! A beautiful dry rose made from 100% Merlot grapes, this has a touch of ripe peach and strawberries on the nose leading to a delicious summer berry mouth fill which is all balanced nicely with good acidity and structure. A wine that offers great quality and therefore value at its price point.

Grapes: Merlot    Alcohol: 12.5

SOLD OUT, more due in April. Pierre and the team have made a subtle and complex Viognier. The grapes are picked early so as to keep some freshness and then 50% is barrel fermented and aged. So layers of pineapple, peach and apricot develop in the mouth with spice and oak. Although rich, fruity and floral this is delightfully firm and dry. Well worth its 4 Star Platters rating.

Grapes: Viognier 100%    Alcohol: 13.5

A totally dry, unwooded, white blend of Viognier and Grenache Blanc. Fresh floral nose with green apple, pear and apricot following through to a spicy and crisp finish. Unfortunately this wine has been discontinued, I have the last remaining bottles left and it tastes great!

Grapes: Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne    Alcohol: 13

The winemaker’s own blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Unassuming, well balanced fruit driven red blend with rustic charm. This has been aged for about six months in old oak which allows the wine to develop but still with lovely blackberry and blackcurrant fruit to the fore. It has won the Best Value Award from WINE Magazine 3 years running now. Fantastic value!

Grapes: Cab Sauv, Merlot, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Shiraz and Mourvèdre    Alcohol: 13.5

A rich and complex blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Grenache. This wine has all the richness and body of a Shiraz, with rustic Mourvèdre to fill the gaps! With a splash of Viognier to soften – this is a complex rich and lengthy wine.

Grapes: 70% Shiraz, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache    Alcohol: 14

This is a blend of four Bordeaux varietals – again showing Lynx’s pedigree. Lovely, fresh and complex nose of blackcurrant and spice tinged with mint. Sweet fragrant blackcurrant continues to the palate supported by cedar spice and an almost bittersweet chocolate finish. A wine that is made to drink now but I can see this ageing extremely well.

Grapes: 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc, 19% Merlot und 19% Petit Verdot    Alcohol: 14.5

This wine is 100% Shiraz with all the grapes coming from the Estate. On the nose there is blackcurrants and almonds. The fruit flavours continue on the pallet and is balanced with spice, white pepper and liquorice. The finish leaves you with plenty of Autumn fruit with hints of a cigar box. Can be kept upto 7 years.

Grapes: Shiraz    Alcohol: 14.5

This wine is made from a 100% Estate grown Pinot Noir. Typically, warmer climate Pinot Noir gives a lot of bright red berries on the nose with hints of sour cherries. Behind all of this are hints of forest flour. The wine is extremely elegant on the palate with soft tannins and medium-long finish.

Grapes: Pinot Noir    Alcohol: 13

Lynx Revolution is a classic blend of the two Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Harmonious and textured this wine is a treat. Lovely blackcurrent fruit blends with well judged oak and herbal nuances. Low Stock, more arriving in march 2021.

Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.    Alcohol: 13.5

This blend combines the lush summer red fruits typical of Grenache with the more blackcurrent and blackberry fruits associated with Cabernet. The wine is full, bright and fresh, perfect for those Spring and Summer BBQs/Braais!

Often picked by “those who know” as their favourite Cabernet Franc and is also a favourite of mine. Very fresh on the nose with blackberry fruit and wild herb perfume. The palate is smooth and rich with black fruits, smoke and liquorice. Ripe and fine grained tannins give the wine structure and backbone. A long finish with some bitter chocolate notes. Very limited amounts left!

Grapes: Cabernet Franc    Alcohol: 14.5
