Hearing aids are prescribed when hearing loss begins to affect communication and daily life. While some people ask if they can use just one device, many benefit more from two, as this improves balance and speech clarity. Modern hearing aids do far more than amplify sound - they reduce background noise, enhance speech, adjust automatically to different environments, and can connect to smartphones. Although devices are available online or in stores, it is best to consult an audiologist, who performs proper hearing tests, fits the device correctly, and programs it to suit your specific needs. It’s never too late to get help, but the earlier you act, the better the results. To find a qualified professional, visit independentaudiologists.co.za.

Radio Life & Style 88.0FM arranged an interview with KDM Mayor, Ali Ngidi, and Electrical Director, Sibusiso Jali, for Friday afternoon to address the current electricity crisis in the municipal area of KwaDukuza.
They cancelled the interview at the last minute citing prior commitments.
We can only presume that the threat of confrontation by the public as suggested on certain social media posts, had much to do with their decision. We will reschedule the interview at a later date subject to availability and willingness to engage with us. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

The clay/shale soils however, provide the Sauvignon Blanc with flavours on the riper side of the fruit spectrum and with more structure for a broader palate. The blending in of naturally fermented Sauvignon Blanc, matured on the lees, provides a fuller mouth feel and adds to the complexity of the wine. This wine was vinified in a style that enhances the aging potential of Sauvignon Blanc. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
The Democratic Alliance in KwaDukuza Local Municipality has described the ANC-led council’s decision to splurge R1.1 million on accommodation outside the municipality boundaries as outrageous.
The council has approved a R1.1 million budget to accommodate councillors and officials who will be attending the 4-day strategic meeting to review the mid-term goals for the council in the Drakensberg Mountains. The ANC, using its majority in the council, turned down the DA’s proposal to hold the meeting locally which would have saved money for basic services.

Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2023
This wine is the epitome of this cool climate.
IN THE VINEYARDS
Doused with all the privileges of a cool climate, Walker Bay boasts some of the most sought-after Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. Nudged by the Bot River lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering in the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and bright acidity. Maritime winds encourage healthy vines that need minimal intervention.
Slope: South and west facing vineyards
Soil: Shale and iron laterites
CHARACTER
If preserved green figs evoke childhood memories, this wine will pour itself into your heart. These vivid aromas are joined with notes of grapefruit and gunflint, balanced with sweet tropical fruit and lemon candy. Alluring fennel and maritime sea spray nuances carry through on the palate, met by a Granny Smith apple like acidity and oyster shell like mineral mouthfeel on the finish.
PERSONALITY
This wine is a true expression of its origin. The Estate Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of a cool climate region and delivers with great balance, length, intensity with an Atlantic freshness about it. Partly barrel fermented, it gently tames the natural acidity, enhancing mouthfeel, the tank-fermented component contributing to its overall complexity and freshness.
IN THE CELLAR
Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes were de-stemmed, skin contact allowed for a few hours. The wine was cold fermented with reductive processing in a combination of stainless-steel tanks, barrels and ceramic eggs. The wine was left on its lees after fermentation for the full time spent in barrel. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

La Bri Affinity 2021
TASTING NOTES
Plush with ripe berries brushed with mocha on velvet palate. Fine tannins and supporting acidity
THE STORY
The components of this Bordeaux Style Blend must have a special Affinity for each other – otherwise the wine is not made. We skipped the 2018 and 2019 vintage for this reason. The varietal percentages also vary according to the vintage with Cabernet always dominant.
IN THE CELLAR
The components were separately vinified and matured. Barrel selection for the blend occurred after 18 months of maturation of the individual components in 10% new French oak.
BLEND INFORMATION
71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc
BOTANICAL SKETCH
Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower – the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.
Geissorhiza radians (Wine Cup)
Geissorhiza radians has a very attractive deep blue flower with a red centre. The Wine cup (Kelkiewyn) represents the core-wine of our range The Affinity Blend.
Alcohol 13.87 % vol RS 2.0 g/l pH 3.63 Total Acid 6.2 g/l

The Ward 6 election in Ballito yesterday was won by the DA with 1364 votes to just 18 votes cast for the ANC. Early indications are that there was an extremely low turnout at the polls with an initial estimate of just 30%. Although this is a victory for the DA candidate Ayabonga Zwane, doesthe low percentage poll indicate local voter apathy and dissatisfaction with the process or candidates put forward for election to public office?

There has been an outpouring of concern from the Ballito community over the arrest of Barry Godwin, a man who for several years has been living quietly on the fringes of Ballito society with his dog and who has become somewhat of a local celebrity. Godwin and his dog Rasta have become a fixture on the beachfront and have won many friends in the community. On Friday afternoon following a complaint laid with the SAPS, Barry was taken into custody and his dog was tied to a fence in the park in which his tent was pitched until it could be rescued by concerned neighbours.
He has been released on a warning today and his fate hangs in the balance.
Our attempts to reach the complainant, Nick Alers, who is renting a property next to the park and thought to work in the Crypto field, have so far been in vain but there is growing consensus in the community that a solution must urgently be found to assist Mr Godwin to find safe sanctuary.

Lifestyle TOPS in Ballito, in collaboration with Durban’s Distillery 031, officially launched their D’Urban Lifestyle Gin to a small group of media and customers in the intimacy of the beautifully designed and curated Gin Room of their liquor store in Lifestyle Centre.
Exclusively produced by Distillery 031 for Lifestyle TOPS in Ballito, D’Urban Lifestyle Gin is inspired by the Dolphin Coast of Kwa Zulu Natal. This unique region enjoys wide, unspoilt beaches. Lush sub- tropical vegetation. Summer all year round. Warm climate and people. The ultimate quality of life.
As pioneers in the craft spirits industry and South Africa’s most internationally awarded independent distillery, Distillery 031 has crafted this hyper local, limited-edition gin. According to Master Distiller, Andrew Rall, “D’Urban Lifestyle Gin has lighter juniper notes than the more classic, dry gins and taps into orange and citrus flavour profiles, making it exceptionally drinkable. Unique to D’Urban Lifestyle Gin is the inclusion of both bitter and sweet orange peels. These two botanicals are individually distilled to add subtle natural orange/citrus flavour to the gin, with no artificial flavours or colourants.”
Lifestyle TOPS Store Manager, Avinash Nundkisun, is understandably excited about this exclusive product, the first collaboration between an established gin brand and a liquor retailer in South Africa. “What a pleasure it has been to work with Distillery 031 on crafting this unique gin,” he says. “They really are experts in their field and the development of this product, inspired by and made for the KZN North Coast customer, has been amazing. We truly hope that when customers open a bottle of this premium, small-batch D’Urban Lifestyle Gin, they will open the essence of the KZN North Coast lifestyle.”
D’Urban Lifestyle Gin will be perfectly served at restaurants in Lifestyle Centre and is available for purchase exclusively from TOPS at SPAR, Lifestyle Centre, Ballito. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Simon Dorn and Eamonn Dowling present Erdinger Weissbier
The original since 1886.
This classic wheat beer blends gently spicy malt aromas with mildly bitter hops. Its secret lies in our unique ERDINGER brewing yeasts. They provide the fruity notes and unmistakably fresh flavour. The finishing touch for every ERDINGER Weissbier is a further specialty: the “Bayerische Edelreifung” or double maturity method. After the main fermentation process, we give our beer the time it needs to mature a second time in the bottle. And we are happy to give it this time. Because this allows its delicious lively nature and the harmonious interplay of its various aromas to fully unfold.
ERDINGER Weissbier with fine yeast, the crowning glory of traditional Bavarian brewing skills. With its elegant flavour, this wheat beer is like no other. Every sip leaves you wanting more.
Brewed according to the Bavarian Purity Law. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
Simone Coetzee from Wolf and Woman Wines and Valencia Magwaza from Tops present the Wolf and Woman 2023 Grenache Rose
This Swartland rosé has a touch of Provence in its style. Winemaker, Jolandie Fouche, sources the grapes from two valleys of the Paardeberg Mountain in the Swartland (in the Aprilskloof and Sibritskloof valleys). She does three picks in order to provide layers of fruit and freshness to the wine. The first pick is on 20˚Balling which gives the energy and freshness of the wine. The second pick is around 21˚B and the last pick at 22˚B; these picks provide multiple layers of fruit and add complexity to the final wine. It is made in the traditional blanc de noir style – in other words, by taking the long road with a slow whole cluster pressing. This action is very gentle; there is no extraction of harsh phenolics and the stems act like a filter bed, and thus the juice is cleaner and the color extraction is minimal. Plus, fun fact: the 2020 vintage was served at the Queens Jubilee, so Jolandie now likes to call it the Royals’ Rosé.
The Grenache was hand-harvested in three picks early in the morning, packed in crates and allowed to spend 24 hours in a cold room. The following day the grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed, with only the free-run juice being used and left to settle naturally for a day. No enzymes were used during the settling process and the juice was racked from the thick, gross lees, but with the fine lees intact, to half old 500L French barrels and half stainless steel.

4.5 STARS - PLATTER'S WINE GUIDE 2024
Vibrant, dark ruby in colour, this fruit driven, complex wine displays layers of dark berry fruit flavours and prominent cassis on the nose which follow through onto the palate with the additional intrigue of spice. Seamless tannins supported by the fruit intensity have combined to create a wine that provides a satisfying and lingering mouth feel.

De Poes Belgian Export Pilsner is a blond low-fermentation beer that has been brewed in accordance with the rules of art and experience. With a light barley flavour and aroma that can be expected of an export. As a tribute to the extremely popular fermented export beer – Dortmunder Pils, De Poes Export is brewed with only one cereal (barley) and high-quality bitterness and aroma hops. Both of these originate 100% from Belgian soil.
By using very high-quality bitterness and aroma hops, we ensure that the bitterness is well-balanced. The used herbs provide a pleasant freshness and the reference to flowers and citrus.
Alcohol: 4.8 Vol%

Vilafonté Seriously Old Dirt 2021
The Blend: Matured for eighteen months with French oak. Seriously Old Dirt 2021 consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (eighty-eight percent), Malbec (eight percent), Merlot (two percent) and Cabernet Franc (two percent).
Seriously Old Dirt 2021 displays a bright garnet-red colour.
This Cabernet Sauvignon lead blend initially greets with a vibrant expression of fruit. Unfolding with fresh plum, black raspberry, mulberry and ripe strawberry. These fruits are beautifully intertwined with subtle spicey notes of shaved nutmeg and dried sage. Palate entry is smooth, luxuriously coating with a silky texture from the fore-palate, broadening on the mid-palate and finishing with layered richness. A line of fresh acidity adds energy to this medium bodied wine. Soft, silky tannins are well integrated, allowing immediate enjoyment, while balanced structure will allow gracious cellaring The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

ANTHONIJ RUPERT OPTIMA 2020
VINTAGE NOTES: The 2020 vintage yield was significantly higher than the preceding
2019 vintage, which had experienced three years of severe drought. Changing weather
conditions during the flowering and fruit set period in October resulted in some uneven
ripening, but moderate weather during the growing season produced strong growth and
denser canopies. The slightly cooler conditions leading up to harvest produced excellent
fruit with balanced acidity and concentrated flavours.
WINEMAKING NOTES: Grapes are hand-picked, placed in small lug boxes, and then
transported to the cellar in a refrigerated truck. The whole berries are double-sorted in the
cellar using an optical sorting machine to ensure that only the best quality grapes are used.
The must was fermented dry on the skins and then macerated for an extended period of
time after fermentation. This results in a deep colour and a good tannin structure. Fermentation
took place in a combination of French oak and stainless steel tanks followed by
malolactic fermentation barrel. Each component was matured separately in 225L French
oak barrels for 20 months, with 30% of the barrels being new oak.
TASTING NOTES: Complex bouquet of fruitcake, cedar, cocoa and a perfumed whiff
of dried lavender. Broad, fleshy and succulent with all of that the nose promises being
delivered on the palate. Spice sprinkled cedar with rich dark fruitcake flavour. Wonderfully
soft, rounded and silky palate that shows cohesion and refinement. Impressive density and
concentration that doesn’t overwhelm. Nor does the oak used in the maturation of this
impressive blend. Plush, comfortable and eminently rewarding with a lingering dry tail. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Hermanuspietersfontein Kleinboet 2020
Cabernet Sauvignon dominant Bordeaux blend.
Although quite the lad, he’s not too big for his boots. Larger than life, there’s nothing small about him! The agile charmer, living life to the full. Simple, down to earth. With energy and a second breath, he’s not the kind to be second guessed…
Our Bordeaux blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and comprises all
five varietals (Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet franc and Malbec). We finalise
the blend before the wine goes into French oak (Foudres - 6000L wooden
vats; 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill barriques – 225Ls). This ensures a beautiful “marriage”
between the different varietals over a 24 month period in oak. Post
bottling, we then cellar the wine for a further 12-18 months before the wine
is released onto the market. Our aim is to create a wine that showcases bright
red and purple fruit such as raspberries and blueberries; savoury notes; dried
herbs (oregano and rosemary). On the palate this wine presents a generous
offering from entrance to finish; supple and full without over-saturating the
palate with tannin; persistent with good length. The wine has a healthy core,
coiled up and waiting to be released over time, whether it be in your cellar,
your decanter, or your glass. These wines will age for 7 years and beyond,
provided stored under optimum conditions The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

The Beyerskloof Pinotage boasts of being South Africa's most popular Pinotage and it's no wonder. This wine has shown a fruity and enjoyable consistency year after year. Classic Pinotage. It's a wine made to enjoy and drink on any occasion.
Strong red berry and plum favours with elegant tannins. A well-balanced, medium-bodied wine with a fresh finish. For a full-favoured experience, we recommend drinking young. It complements mutton dishes, pork chops on the barbecue, and steaming curries. Pair it with mature Cheddar or Gouda. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

This week Simone Coetzee from Hartenberg Family Vinyards and Valencia Magwaza introduce HARTENBERG CABERNET SAUVIGNON SHIRAZ 2021
In much the same way that many Bordeaux chateaux have their “secondsecond” wines, this is ours. While specific vineyard blocks are dedicated to the blend to ensure consistency of character, grapes which haven't quite cracked the nod for our high-end wines (due to our critical selection philosophy), happily find their way into this blend. Produced since 1990.
FOOD SUGGESTIONS:
Pizza with all its various toppings (but not too much chilli), all traditionally prepared meat dishes (i.e., stews and grills), grilled or roasted game fish (ideally without a lemon-based sauce) or for pudding. Pears in red wine will find a partner in this versatile wine. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

ETERNAL EIGHT 2021
Eternal Eight for those aspiring to a fuller-bodied and rich red for eternal occasions. The wine's deep, ruby colour immediately translates its depth and layered character with a plush bouquet of mulberry, blackcurrant, violet and pine. A subtle hint of hedgerow and rain on fresh earth adds a refreshing, herbal note to the perfumed nose. On taste, the wine is effortless to love, reintroducing a mulberry note with ripe strawberries and baskets brimming with freshly picked plums. The texture is velvety, entwining fruit and cinnamon spice to balance the lingering tangy and savoury nuances. Well balanced with an eternal finish.

Winemaker Paul Wallace from Paul Wallace Family Wines and Valencia Magwaza from Lifestyle Tops present Black Dog Malbec 2019
The 2019 Paul Wallace Black Dog Malbec is the tenth vintage made from grapes produced on our own farm, Wallovale Vineyards. It is named after Jake, Paul’s beefy black shadow, a cross Labrador/Rottweiler, who was a puppy when we bought the farm in 2003. Jake is sadly no longer with us but two black labs, Angus and Becky, continue the legacy. The Malbec grape is also known as the Black Grape and it is this characteristic that has been incorporated into the name.
The three individual blocks that comprise our Malbec plantings each have their own unique profile due to different row direction and training systems. The three blocks were harvested and vinified separately, each contributing its own unique building block. Left on the skins for post fermentation maceration before being transferred into 225 and 300 lit French oak barriques, where MLF took place. The wine spent approximately 15 months in wood with a 20% new wood component. 30% was matured in a concrete egg, contributing towards the fruit driven profile and adding yet another building block to the final compilation.
Much like the dog, the wine is dark in colour, well-muscled, intense and full of character. The Black Dog Malbec presents with an intriguing somewhat exotic nose, conjuring up hints of black plums, blue and black berries, bramble, rhubarb, violets and a touch of cumin. The entry onto the palate follows on the expectation of the nose - a satisfying fruit-filled mouthful of dark fruits linked by a herbal element and held together by rounded, silky tannins – just enough to contribute to food friendliness. The Black Dog Malbec is a truly memorable wine which reflects the natural elegance we have come to expect from Elgin wines.
The ideal accompaniment to red meat dishes, beef steak, game or slow roasted lamb or should it take your fancy, sit in front of a fire, sip slowly and dip into a bowl of pistachio nuts or biltong. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Rowan Gibb and Eamonn Dowling present Benriach Speyside 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
This is the Whisky Monster Review:
The Twelve is the unpeated 12-year-old single malt whisky of the revamped range of BenRiach distillery. With the new whiskies, all 10 and 12-year-old expressions in the core range are aged in three different casks at least 10 years now. I have already written a review about BenRiach The Original Ten which was also 'three cask matured'. Unlike The Original Ten, The Twelve is aged in bourbon, Sherry and Port casks. It is also bottled at 46% abv, which is slightly higher than The Original Ten.
This whisky was also selected as the #3 at Top 20 Whiskies Of 2020 by Whisky Advocate. So it also carries a big mystery as it is a very new bottle in the market.
How Does It Taste?
Wowza! The nose has tobacco to start with which is followed by ripe Sultanas. Then a generous amount of maple syrup is spilled on these getting you to feel like you are having a big old bourbon! Sandalwood, cherries and baked pears add on top to create a richer nose.
The palate is following the steps of the nose with raisins, cinnamon, oak spices and caramel notes. Sultanas reappear in time with a slight gingery feeling. The finish starts with white peppers, cinnamon, ginger, tangerine and dark coffee beans.
Verdict
BenRiach The Twelve is something I wasn't expecting to be this complex and bold! It is surely a great whisky at this price and I can totally understand how it made to number 3 on the above-mentioned list. I can easily say that this is a top-notch product from the distillery and kudos to Dr. Rachel Barrie. In an interview I had with her a couple of months ago, she was really excited about The Twelve.

HARTENBERG SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023
The grapes were entirely hand-picked, between daybreak and mid-morning. Reductive winemaking methods were applied in making the wine. The grapes were gently crushed, followed by four hours of skin contact. After a cool, 2 week fermentation the wine spent four months on the primary lees, with a twice a month batonage.
TASTING NOTES:
A steely minerality. Tropical hints of guava and passion fruit, a touch of white pepper, and zesty lemon and lime on the nose, intermingled with delicate floral and Granny Smith apple aromas. On the palate, it reveals flavours of peach and apricot, and a zippy acidity. Crisp and linear in structure, with a lingering finish. Set to develop beautifully.
FOOD MATCHING:
Goats cheese - either baked, in a salad or on its own. Fish - whether it be baked, steamed, fried or served as a soup. Also, lime, coriander, light chilli and garlic when cooked with fish, chicken or vegetables. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

This week Eamonn presents Glen Carlou Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are picked in three stages of ripening. The first early harvest presents fresh citrus, gooseberry and green pepper flavours, to a more advanced ripening stage of pineapple, melon, peach and tropical complexity. Low yield Durbanville shale soil and the cooling effect of the Table Bay peninsula, make for a perfect Sauvignon Blanc meso-climate.
Grapes were hand-picked and the must chilled and handled reductively throughout. A vacuum press was used to gently extract juice which was settled and then racked. Fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks with different commercial yeasts selected to suit the fruit profile of the various pickings.
“Distinctive complexity with layers of tropical fruit, pineapple, green pepper and gooseberries. This medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc presents a vivid lemon-lime colour, with a flinty thread on the palate underpinned by a floral freshness. As the wine evolves, it develops green apple and kiwi fruit in the glass, with intriguing tropical tones. The entry is fresh progressing towards a well-structured mid palate, balanced by the refreshingly vibrant natural fruit acidity”.

Eamonn Dowling and Sinakho Dunjwa introduce The Glenlivet, 15 Year Old, a Speyside single malt whisky that gets its distinctive rich and exotic character from a process of selective maturation in which a proportion of the spirit is matured in French oak casks. The Limousin oak we use is cut in France s Dordogne region, where it s often used to mature cognacs. Its low density allows the whisky to sink deep into the wood, with a carefully controlled period of how long the whisky matures in the casks so as not to overpower its unique, pleasing spiciness.
George Smith, The Glenlivet's founder, didn't follow the lead of the illegal still owners. In 1824, he obtained a distiller's licence to become the first legal distillery in Glenlivet, Scotland. 50 years later, George finally won the exclusive right to call his whisky The Glenlivet', definitively marking it as the single malt that started it all.
To this day, The Glenlivet remains the benchmark that all other Speyside single malts are measured against
With a deep intense gold colour, The Glenlivet offers a sweet fruity, and delicate spice taste and creamy, rich, buttery flavour on the nose. And finished with a lingering trace of toasted hazelnuts and almonds.
Drink to your own preference; neat, in a cocktail, or simply with a drop of water to open the creamy, smooth character.
When serving with ice, large cubes are recommended to allow slow dilution releasing the creamy, sweet characters. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Eamonn and Valencia present Remhoogte 2022 FIRST LIGHT Chenin Blanc
Vineyards:
South facing slopes are exposed to the bright and crisp first light of each day. This aspect, combined with fresh afternoon breezes off the cold Atlantic Ocean provide ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. The vineyards are planted on decomposed granite and table mountain sandstone soils. Vines for the First Light are between 30 and 50 years old and yield around 5 tons per hectare.
Cellar:
The grapes are harvested and pressed straight away. No skin contact is allowed, and fermentation proceeds naturally in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation the wine is racked off the heavy lees, returned to the fine lees and left for 4 months. The wine is then racked and bottled. The goal throughout the process for this wine is to maintain freshness.
Tasting notes and analysis:
Colour: Pale straw
Nose: Passion fruit, lemons, green melon and a flinty minerality.
Palate: Light, uber fresh palate with bright citrus and stone fruit backed by a gently refreshing acid. A saline character adds to the depth and brings length. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

SILVER ROSE 2023
SINGLE VINEYARD GRENACHE NOIR
TASTING NOTES
“I simply love Grenache Rosé - I love it for all the red fruit flavours, the strawberry, pomegranate, red berry fruit and for the last few years we’ve experimented with a single vineyard rosé from Grenache. So the intent was a delightful, softly pink, elegant fruit focused wine but it had to have structure and body and a long finish on the palate - all of
this almost contrary to the fact that you press the grape gently and drain off just the freshest ‘free-run juice’ with little or no chance of getting tannins or structure from the skins! We are really thrilled with the result. The most daunting reality is we now have
to somehow manage to do the same this vintage!”

Amanda Mthembu presents this week's selection: TOKARA
SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023
ORIGIN
This wine is a blend of Sauvignon blanc grapes that originate from the Stellenbosch
and Elgin regions.
CROPPING AND HARVESTING
The vineyards crop between 6 and 10t/ha and the grapes are harvested at various
degrees of ripeness from 21.0 to 23 degrees balling, depending on acid, pH, flavour
intensity and profile. All grapes are hand harvested.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and pumped via mash cooler directly into
our inert (oxygen free) press. Free-run and press juices were separated and settled
overnight before being racked off the heavy lees and inoculated for fermentation with
selected wine yeasts. Fermentation is controlled at 18 degrees Celsius in stainless steel
tanks. 4 % of the wine fermented in barrel. After fermentation the wine was blended,
stabilised and bottled in June 2023.
230 000 bottles were produced.
TASTING NOTES
The wine has a vibrant light straw colour with a brilliant pale green edge that catches
the light.
There is an appealing mix of fresh lime blossom, ripe passion fruit and sliced caped
gooseberry on the nose. The wine enters the palate with concentrated flavours,
consistent with the aromatics. The finish is refreshing and crisp with a slight oyster
shell salinity derived from the grapes provenance on cool, maritime influenced sites.
Food pairing: This wine is best enjoyed cold on a hot summer’s day. Either on its own
or it can be served with grilled chicken, fish, prawns or fresh oysters. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

The spectacular R3,1-billion Oceans Umhlanga Development
Set to be the most prestigious and breathtaking lifestyle development on the pristine KwaZulu-Natal coastline. This unparalleled development is signatured by two magnificent residence towers, consisting of 460 elegantly designed apartments and penthouses, all boasting panoramic sea views, creating a living experience beyond compare. The awe-inspiring iconic development is complemented by a world-class shopping mall with over 100 stores, featuring international super brands, such as the likes of Burberry, Versace, Armani and Paul Smith. It rates as one of the top three high-end malls in the country. This unique confluence of lifestyle and leisure is further enhanced by a luxurious internationally branded hotel, which ensures a vibrant and enriching way of life. The extravagant residential towers are designed so that every apartment enjoys a stunning sea view, which enhances its appeal and long-term value immeasurably.
Since the upscaling by relocation of Durban’s business hub and the development of Gateway Theatre of Shopping centre, Umhlanga is now the epicentre of business interests in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Now home to the head offices of large Blue Chip Corporate Companies such as Unilever, Derivco and Tongaat Hulett and smaller offices housing upmarket SME business entrepreneurs, the area has made provision for an influx of upper income bracket executives. The opening of King Shaka International airport in 2010, brought with it, ease of access to some of the most prime property space and corporate convenience in the country. The airport now facilitates more than 7.5 million passengers, and recently signed UAE airlines. KZN is set to be a leading tourism and investment destination in South Africa due to population movement, infrastructure, reduced crime and the prospect of the Common Wealth Games in 2022.
The area north of Durban, through Umhlanga and up past Ballito on the Dolphin Coast has been identified as the fastest growing development area in the country. Inland, and up the coast, the region boasts a plethora of exclusive lifestyle estates and residents already familiar with the spoils of the region.
It comes as no surprise then that Umhlanga is now home to ‘The Oceans’, a R 3.1 billion rand mixed use development, designed to unparalleled exclusivity. The project is the largest private sector investment in development history in KwaZulu-Natal and is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Vivian Reddy and Rob Alexander of Edison and Decutas Property Groups.

Armand de Brignac, known colloquially as Ace of Spades, is a French Champagne owned by Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter and LVMH. The brand is produced by Champagne Cattier and sold in opaque metallic bottles. The brand's first bottling, Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, is identifiable by its gold bottle with French pewter Ace of Spades labels. The Champagne Cattier team that produces Armand de Brignac is led by Jean-Jacques and Alexandre Cattier, 12th and 13th generation champagne growers. A team of 18 people touch a bottle of Armand de Brignac from pressing the fruit to when the bottles leave the cellars in France.
The Armand de Brignac champagnes are made in the village of Rilly-la-Montagne, in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne. Fruit is sourced from the 30+ hectares owned by the Cattier family and from growers in selected villages across the region. All three Champagne grape varieties are used: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
After hand-picking, the fruit is pressed in one of two family-owned wineries located close to the vineyards. The first press of 4,000 kilos of grapes provides an allowable yield of 20.5 hectolitres of juice (the "cuvée") and Armand de Brignac selects just the very first and freshest portion of this press.
The champagnes rests on lees in the cellars for years before disgorgement. Armand de Brignac uses a unique cuvee that comprises the best still wines aged for one year in French oak barrels. These oak barrels are placed 30 ft underground and thought to give the champagne its complexity and life.
Each metalized bottle is finished by hand, with the application of French pewter labels, polished, and housed in a wooden lacquered gift box, ensuring every single bottle is unique. The annual yield for these bottles is roughly 60,000, which is considered fairly low in comparison to other named brands. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Mark Pearse and Valencia Magwaza present SURVIVOR SAUVIGNON BLANC
WINE DESCRIPTION
The 2022 vintage is a pure expression of the Elgin terroir and shows notes
of freshly crushed gooseberry, white blossom, elderflower and red grapefruit
on the nose, while the palate supports the aromas with fresh grapefruit and
subtle hints of nectarine and tropical fruits. A mouth-watering, rounded acidity
accompanies a full and long finish on the palate.
VINEYARDS
Grapes come from two vineyard blocks in the Elgin area lying at 540 meters
above sea level. The one block is planted in an east-west row direction and
the other in a north-south direction. Soils are derived from broken sandstone
and has a high clay content, which is needed for great water retention. Because
of this great water holding capacity, the vineyards can be dryland farmed. Vines
benefit from the cooling sea breezes from the Cape South Coast.
WINEMAKING TECHNIQUES
The grapes were harvested in two stages. The one block was picked at 22.5°
Balling and the other at 23.8° Balling to get different flavour spectrums. Both
were picked by hand in the early mornings, crushed, destemmed under a CO2
blanket and skins left to cold macerate in tank for 16 hours to extract the
flavour precursors. Tank was then emptied into press and the free run and
light press juice was separated from the rest. The wine was fermented in
stainless steel tanks, where the fermentation temperature was kept at around
12°C for 3 weeks. After 3 months on the fermentation lees, the wine was
racked and sulphured. Bottling took place early spring 2022.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2022 growing season will be remembered by how late everything happened.
Bud break was between 2 and 3 weeks later than the norm, which then in
effect led to the harvest to also start 2 weeks later. A relative cool and dry
growing season followed some late winter rains, which led to producing elegant
wines with great phenolic maturity.

Eamonn presents A typical Thelema Sauvignon Blanc – characteristics of tropical fruits,
melon and gooseberry, with underlying tones of pineapple and passion
fruit with a full zesty palate, all in perfect balance.
VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
A cold and wet start to the growing season ensured good dormancy in
the vines, while an early and warm January brought the ripening period
forward. Reds delivered dark colour and impressive structure quite early
in the harvest, balanced by higher than average acidity. Overall, a
promising vintage.
The grapes were gently de-stemmed, pumped through our mash cooler,
(Glycol set at 5°C) to cool the fruit down, receives a dose of pectolytic
enzymes as well as a small amount of SO2 to aid in the juice clarification
process, prevent oxidation and spontaneous fermentations. Once the
press is full the cycle is started, and the juice is moved to a holding tank.
Clarification takes place via floatation in the late afternoon and the juice
is moved to its fermentation tanks early the following morning. We
inoculate with a commercial yeast strain, the ferment runs at 14°C, to
maintain a progressive yet stable fermentation curve. The wines are left
on their gross lees for 6 months after which we rack them and add a light
fining to clean them up a bit for evaluation and then bottled.
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTION
As an apertif or with delicately flavoured foods like salads, oysters,
scallops and chicken. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Simonsig ROSÉ – THE FACTS:
Our Needless to Say Rosé made its first public appearance at the Barbie movie premiere in Johannesburg on 19 July 2023.
It is believed that some of the very first wines ever made were Rosé, but the evolution of Rosé to how we know it today has come a long way.
Centre du Rosé, located in the South of France, is the only research centre dedicated to this wine style. The South of France is a leader in this wine style internationally.
From raspberry red to Salmon pink, Rosé comes in a range of different colours. From light to dark, winemakers have complete control over the colour they want to achieve.
Contrary to popular belief in South Africa, not all Rosés are sweet. They are produced in a range of sweetness levels, from dry – like our Needless to Say Rosé and Kaapse Vonkel Brut Rosé – to sweet and everything in between – like our Satin Nectar Rosé, which is a demi-sec.
Rosés are known for their food-pairing versatility – they harmonise beautifully with seafood pasta, fresh salads with a salmon twist, diverse Thai food dishes, and sushi. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Rusty Labuschagne is a unique premier speaker on the professional circuit. One is immediately struck by his sincerity and humility as he delivers a dramatic account of his transformational experience. Rusty has been through a trauma few have experienced. In 2003, the successful Zimbabwean businessman, who ran a safari outfit, flew his own aircraft, and had a fishing resort on Lake Kariba, was framed by a poacher, the police, and the courts, and wrongfully convicted of drowning a poacher.
He talks and writes about being subjected to conditions most people would find unbearable, having to draw on his inner resources and strengths to endure the unimaginable. In the process, he developed not only a life-saving resilience but also empathy and a keen desire to help his fellow inmates. His faith in God, positive mental attitude, leadership qualities, and lessons in forgiveness, gratitude, and humility bring a personal, transformative, and authentic message of hope and freedom.
In his book and to audiences, Rusty’s message is that everyone is faced with challenges, but it is who you are and the depth of your determination that will get you through life’s darkest moments. He shows how one can harness one’s inner strength and let go of what one cannot control. His talks have a broad audience appeal, from leadership lessons for CEOs and managers to inspiration and staff members’ motivation. They will all feel an impact.

Longridge Merlot 2020
Aroma Profile
This vintage delivered a medium bodied wine with a savoury nose and slight cedar characters. Ripe, yet soft tannins complement the aromas of plump, dark, red fruit and ripe strawberries with a hint of dark chocolate, cocoa green herbs and wet stones on the nose. Well integrated vanilla oak and enough backbone to age further in the bottle.
Terroir
Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, it is made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoyed the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool air at night flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers, with the Helderberg Ward being the coolest in the Stellenbosch region.
Viticulture
The vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand. The crop is reduced to ensure maximum quality. Organic and biodynamic practices are employed by not using any pesticides, herbicides or chemical sprays.
Vinification
Meticulous hand sorting before fermenting naturally for 10 days in stainless steel tanks and then pressed. This wine has been matured in 30% new French oak barrels for 16 months and is ready for drinking now, but will continue to develop over the next 3-5 years.

Bedrock Black Limited Release Syrah 2021
Hardship hones depth. Looking out onto the peaks
of the Langeberg Mountains these vines are
anchored in almost solid bedrock. Roots dig down
into the cracks of petrified terroir in search of
moisture and nutrients, a struggle resulting in small
grape bunches with tiny, dark berries. From these
berries, grown and matured in the harshest of soils
a rich, silky wine flows.
Tasting notes:
A Black-Red colour. The nose expresses aromas of
Cherry tobacco, dried berries, plums, leather, cigar
box and black pepper. On the palate you will experience
flavours of cranberries, coriander, dark chocolate
and bitter expresso.
Viticulture & Winemaking:
A single Vineyard Wine. This vineyard is the
eastern most vineyard on the estate with a
west facing slope. The vines are rooted in solid
bedrock and this wine spent 12 months in first fill
French Oak.
Food Pairing:
Biltong, lamb shank, oxtail, chilli, chocolate, steak The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve 2020
Colour: Deep dark red middle
Bouquet: Upfront black fruit with hints of oak in the background.
Tasting notes: Lively blackberry flavours upon entry, with delicate cedar oak aromas
from Barrel maturation. A wine with excellent balance, a lovely core, and a long juicy
aftertaste. This wine will pair well with lamb chops on the braai and springbok fillet.
Ready to enjoy upon release and will develop well for up to 10 years.
Vintage Notes: We had a relatively normal growing season in the vineyards for a
change. There was good rainfall at the end of October and that helped with even
ripening for the mid to early cultivars. The late cultivars still needed additional water
to ensure optimum ripeness. The harvest started in early February at the Beyerskloof
cellar with Pinotage and Pinot Noir. From then the harvest was bumper to bumper as
it seems everything ripened at the same time. We finished with Field blend and
Lagare in mid-March and the last fermentation finished just before the first
lockdown. In general, the grapes were healthy and the quality looked better than in
2019. The crop was also bigger compared to the past 4 years.
Winemaking: 4 days in open fermenters with the cap punched through by hand every
two hours. Fermentation temperature was between 25-28°C. After malolactic
fermentation the wine matured in 10% new and 90% second/third fill barrels for 14
months. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
Anura Malbec 2021 Reserve
Fermentation initiated in a small open-top tank. With the use of a vibration table,
hand sorting is done to ensure only the best berries are selected and processed to
tank. After a period of cold maceration (48 hours), the tank was inoculated with
commercial yeast to begin fermentation. Pump overs and manual punch downs were
regularly done during fermentation to maximise extraction. Wine then left on the
skins for an additional 30 days after fermentation for maximum flavour extraction.
Maturation Wine was aged in oak for 20 months; 30% new French oak barrels and the rest in 3rd and 4th fill barrels.
Tasting Comments
Sweet plums, mulberry and marzipan aromas with a rich mouth feel and a long,
smooth finish underlined by liquorice spice and dried peach tones. Wonderfully
paired with grilled meats, rich tomato based dishes and stews or can also be enjoyed
with a mature cheese board and sweet preserves. Always a hit at any Braai! The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

It is the largest festival in KZN and one of the leading festivals in SA. This year’s event will be take place five weeks earlier than usual, which organisers hope will result in better weather.
“Our aim is to bring the pick of SA theatre to KZN over the weekend,” says artistic director, Sue Clarence. “It isn’t simply a drama festival; there are dollops of comedy, music of several different genres, an extensive fine art exhibition, exciting arts related workshops, fun activities for kids, upmarket craft and a collection of classic cars - from a vintage Rolls Royce to modern Ferraris. There is live music, street theatre and a wide variety of food on sale. Naturally, there is a beer tent as well!”
Lovers of theatre must make sure to book for Hansard, starring Fiona Ramsay and Graham Hopkins, which according to one reviewer “is the best piece of theatre to be seen in a decade.” Neil Coppen’s Isidlamlilo has been lauded as a masterpiece of new SA writing and tells a vitally important story of SA today. It goes on a tour of Europe immediately after Hilton. The comedy line-up is headed by Marc Lottering (So I Wrote This Musical), Darren Maule’s stand-up show Mauling Glory, Mamba – Proudly SA. with John van de Ruit and Ben Voss, and the irrepressible Macbob duo, Aaron and Lisa McIlroy.
The music component of the Festival has been expanded due to the stunning new facilities at the school. People can grab the opportunity to Be A Pop Star and have the experience of recording their own voice or they can Lay Down a Beat, working with cutting edge software to create music. Schools from all over KZN will take part in a wide variety of street theatre, making maximum use of the beautiful grounds of the gracious host, Hilton College.
Ticketed music shows offer a wide variety of choice: from the musical 5 Guys Named Moe and a selection of musical revue. From The Wanderer, by leading KZN pianist Dr Andrew Warburton, Songs of the Reeds, a voice and oboe recital and a programme of song featuring up and coming soprano, Nozuko Teto.
Wela Kapela who brought the hit show Vincent last year, return with Next!!! and Damsel in Distress and Durban singer Marion Loudon brings Crocodile Rock. That’s Life, with Midlands favourite Erin Fourie, includes a wide variety of song from Sinatra to Beyonce and Adele, to Ella, Etta and Amy Winehouse, with a bit of Ed Sheeran for good measure. Digby & The Lullaby and We Can Get There from Here see a return of Festival favourites, Darren Peens and Michael Broderick, both weaving a tapestry of spoken word and music. The Chelsea Hotel celebrates folk music.
The international birding company, Rockjumper’s exhibition, lectures, guided walks and drives on the estate offer an opportunity to enjoy the magnificent Midlands and Ed Schroder will speak on another KZN jewel, through his photographic book on Nguni cattle.
Three films, SA-made It Has to do with Emila and the Best of 48 Hour Film 2022, will be screened and The 48 hour group will also make a movie at the Festival over the weekend. KZN’s Greig Coetzee (White Men With Weapons and Johnny Boskak) has given permission for the movie he made during lockdown in London, The Water Rats, to enjoy its African premiere at the 2023 Hilton Arts Festival.
And for the very first time ….. Classic Car enthusiasts take note... Retro Rides Revival is coming. Get ready to rev your engines and take a trip down memory lane as this extravaganza on wheels motors into town. Come and see retro models of the 1920s to the muscle cars of the 1960s and beyond.

NITIDA CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020
Featuring aromatic spices, salted caramel, red fruits, and tobacco, this is an opulent combination of flavours.
Cabernet Sauvignon exudes a firm, luxurious texture that pairs well with beef wellington simmered in truffle Madeira sauce.
THE STORY BEHIND THE LABEL
We have won numerous awards for our wine labels and have had big admiration from our friends, but behind all that recognition is an untold story. The story behind our label.
Our labels were not a quick design sketched by an agency and sent off to the printers. No, quite the opposite. We spent months thinking of the best way to incorporate everything Nitida stands for. To capture the essence of the estate, our wine’s unique characters and to give our friends far away a little bit of home.
Our label illustrations were hand drawn using inks made from our Nitida tree leaves. Inspired by protea nitidus in our garden, they also feature local Renosterveld plants and some of the creatures who share the farm with us.
West Coast Renosterveld – estimated that only three percent of this critically endangered and hugely fragmented vegetation type remains and loss is due to agriculture having taken over these highly nutritious soil areas. Other wild critters include Cape Eagle Owl, Cape Clawless Otter, the Golden Orb spider, the Yellow-billed Duck, Cape Cobra, and Protea Nitida tree (Waboom).

Post House Bulls Eye Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 was made with the utmost attention and detail to deliver an extremely high quality end product. This wine is a big wine with a nose of raspberry, mint, cigar box, chocolate and gamy meat. The palate is firm and oaky with rounded ripe fruit and tannins which gives length to the finish.
The first and foremost observation made about the wines is often the colour.
Above all, these are perhaps some of the darkest, deepest colored wines discovered. This is also a result of a combination of the terroir and vinification process.
The cellar only produces in particular a small quantity of wine and assumes a hands-on and conscientious approach at each step.
Absolutely with creativity, the whole wine package fine-tuned.
Interference therefore kept to a minimum during the wine making process.
The grapes are most importantly handled as gently as possible.
The grapes are finally harvested into small fruit bins, where they are checked and sorted before being lightly crushed and destalked. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Ballito Lions is a charity organisation and our main objective is to serve the most needy in our community as best we can.
It is therefore imperative that we hold fundraising functions to allow us to do this.
Last year, the funds we raised from wine tasting allowed us to donate electric hobs, gas burners and food parcels into our areas worst affected by flooding.

The Tops Wine of the Week
Anthonij Rupert Terra Del Capo Sangiovese 2020
Enticing aromas of ripe plum and cherry are enhanced by a subtle spice and cedar element. The palate boasts more of the same: plump black cherries with ripe plum and an exciting lifted spicy lift. A gentle squeeze of wood tannin and a cedar note adds interest. The wine is rounded, supple and comforting in texture, all the way to a long, rich finish.
in the vineyard : This cultivar thrives on our Rooderust farm near Darling where long dry summers are typical, tempered by cool Atlantic sea breezes. Clones of Sangoivese found in South Africa are SG1, SG2, SG3 and R24 and form part of the “Sangiovese grosso” family which are quite vigorous and prone to overproduction.
about the harvest: The challenge is to get a good balance between this vigorous growth and the quality fruit production. Viticultural techniques are applied to ensure good colour, even ripening and good balance between sugar and acidity.
in the cellar : The wine was fermented in Stainless steel tanks with a well-calculated pump over regime applied to ensure an elegant and soft tannin structure.
Malolactic fermentation was completed in tanks and then racked into barrels. Maturation was completed in a combination of French and American oak 500L barrels for approximately 12 months. 15% new oak was used The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

‘Engaging and absorbing, a tale about exploring the cold told with much warmth.’ – Mick Herron
‘Tender, heartfelt and lyrical.’ - Petina Gappah
‘Beautiful, thrilling, heroic and kind.’ – Claire Robertson
When Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance was discovered below the Antarctic ice in March 2022, 106 years after it sank, the world thrilled anew with one of the greatest survival stories of all time.
Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey has a deeply personal relationship with the story of Endurance and in this lyrical journey into past and present, into humanity and the natural world, above and below the Antarctic ice, he revisits the famous story wondering why it seems to mean more today than ever before. Drawing on literature, natural history, personal memoir and the thrilling epics of polar adventure, this is a celebration of the human spirit. If this story tells us anything, it’s that in the face of self-inflicted natural disaster, we can still pull off a miracle or two.
From the bottom of the Weddell sea, Endurance still whispers that not all is lost, and not forever
DARREL BRISTOW-BOVEY is a prize-winning screenwriter, travel writer, and a newspaper and magazine columnist. He's the author of five books which have been translated into seven languages, including Spanish, Estonian and Portuguese. He was born in South Africa, studied under JM Coetzee and Andre Brink, and currently divides his time between Cape Town, the UK and a hillside on the Greek Peloponnese. His fascination with the Endurance expedition began as a small boy, when his father first told him that he had been south with Shackleton. He still believes him.

“My name means ‘with love I stand’, and everything I do is with love, including music,” says Noluthando Ngema, singer and content creator.
She says she’s always been a creative human being and the one child who was called upon to perform at family events, but it was only later on, when she went through dark times of depression and anxiety, that she found music was a medium through which she could connect with herself and with God.
“It’s really impacted my life because now I have the language and melodies to express what’s going on and a way to bring myself out of situations,” she says. “I have language and melody to connect with God, and to connect with people and I feel that is so special – being able to express oneself in a beautiful way.”
She said she studied something that she didn’t enjoy for a long time, and winning the prize of a music scholarship would be a way of redeeming those years and getting her music out into the world.
“My style of music is native. It is a call to a land that most people might not know of; a call to humanity in its beautiful form,” Noluthando explains. “I get inspiration from everywhere. I am an eclectic mix, from the Maskandi vibe to the Florence and the Machine vibe, as well as the newer generation of musicians, like Msaki or MUZI. I very much draw from all those people and add my unique touch.”

TOKARA
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020
ORIGIN
All the grapes originated from Tokara’s vineyards in Stellenbosch.
CROPPING AND HARVESTING
The vineyards yielded between 3 and 12 t/ha. The grapes were handpicked at optimal
ripeness at sugars between 24 and 26 brix and acidities between 5.1 & 6.8 g/l.
WINEMAKING
Hand-picked grapes grapes were destemmed before passing across a sorting table for the
removal of all unwanted material and then crushed directly into stainless steel tanks and
wooden upright (foudre) fermenters. The must was cooled to between 10 and 15°C for a
cold soak before fermentation started naturally.
Pump-overs, dellastage and punching down of the cap were implemented twice a day
for extraction until the fermentation completed. The tanks were given maceration post
fermentation depending on tannin extraction and development.
The wines were put to barrel for malolactic fermentation after which they were racked,
sulphured and put back to barrel for a further maturation. The wines spent a total of
nineteen months in 21% new French oak and the rest being older French oak barriques
– all 225L format.
During the maturation the components were racked twice where-after the wine was
blended in tank and returned to barrel to homogenise and mature further.
The wines received a light fining before filtration and bottling in late October 2020.
131 724 bottles were produced.
TASTING NOTES
This wine has a beautiful bright claret colour.
There are aromas of brambleberry coulis, subtle cassis and blackberry on the nose
complimented by underlying notes of five spice and the slightest hint of vanilla.
The palate is packed with delicious dark fruit interwoven in spice and light toasty notes
from the barrels. A tannin profile reminiscent of silky dark chocolate with poised freshness
round off the finish.
This wine will drink well now but will benefit from cellaring.
Food pairing: Enjoy with lightly smoked Springbok carpaccio, grilled veal chops, meaty
stews or a fantastic steak. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
Jack O’Neill opened the world’s first surf shop in 1952 out of a garage off the Great Highway, San Francisco. He started out shaping boards and selling wax, eventually experimenting with insulated surf vests to extend sessions in the frigid waters of Northern California. This thought process lead to the creation of the neoprene wetsuit, an invention of Jack’s that changed the surf world forever. The shop later moved to Santa Cruz and went full force into the wetsuit business. That same progressive spirit still drives the company forward today.
We at O’Neill strive to innovate, evolve, and produce timeless products to benefit those who live the surf lifestyle. The products are distributed to 86 countries worldwide. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito

Syrah Grenache Noir 2021
Tasting Notes
Crimson red wine with an intense perfumed mélange of red fruits and candy apple and bright oak undertones. On the palate, the fruit / oak balance is harmonious with soft and juicy tannins, cassis and plum flavours producing a wine of vibrant structure and a lingering finish.
Winemaker's Notes
Harvesting is done by hand, followed by grape sorting before the grapes were put into the same fermenter after which co-fermentation took place. After malolactic fermentation took place naturally, the wines were aged in third, fourth, and fifth fill French oak barrels for 8 months. After tacking and filtration, the wine was bottled in October 2021.
Serving Suggestion

44% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot,
3% Cabernet Franc.
Our flagship red is full-bodied and elegant. A full 5 Bordeaux blend
with melodies of luscious red fruit, rich dark chocolate, and warm
sticky toffee pudding that follow through from the nose to the palate.
This wine typically spends around 18 months in small French oak
barrels. Well-rounded and balanced with a bold oakiness that’s
prevalent on the palate.

Amanda Mthembu introduces the Bosman Family Vineyards Chenin Blanc
The breadth of the varietals comes from the Bosman Vine Garden, a clone garden in a cooler climate region that is a "shopping block" for winemakers and viticulturists around South Africa. Vineyard blocks are harvested according to ripeness, and specifically with the intention to make this rose. The wine is naturally lower alcohol and displays freshness due to its natural acidity. Light, fresh, with loads of character, and a lovely bouquet. The Afternoon Show Sponsor: Bidvest McCarthy Toyota Ballito
Fairview Rose Quartz 2022
IN THE VINEYARD: This rosé consists of 49% Grenache Noir, 43% Cinsault and 8% Carignan, with all three varieties grown on different sites. The Grenache Noir component is an early picking from our terraced Stok-by-Paaltjie (vine on pole) single vineyard site, planted on the east facing slopes of Paarl Mountain at Fairview. The Cinsault comes from old bush vines also planted on the upper slopes of the Fairview farm. Finally, the Carignan is sourced from Klein Amoskuil farm outside of Malmesbury. Planted on shale soils, the Carignan provides body and elegance to the final wine. All three sites produce fantastic stand-alone red wines too. We’ve selected small parcels from these sites for this rosé.TASTING NOTE: Pale rose quartz colour in the glass. Delicate notes of sweet strawberries and foraged red berries, with a hint of lemon blossom and pear. Daisy fresh on the palate, with red berry flavours, good concentration and creaminess from the oak, perfectly balanced by the fresh salinity and making for a generous layered finish.
FOOD RECOMMENDATION: A very versatile wine. Will pair elegantly with long eventful summer lunches and an array of dishes including fresh salmon sushi, Mediterranean salads, cheese and tapas style platters.

Eamonn and Valencia introduce us to the Cederberg Bukettraube 2022
W I N E M A K E R ' S T A S T I N G N O T E S - - - - - - - - -
A floral Bukettraube with notes of chamomile and white blossom aromas. Hints of
apricot, dried fruit and honeydew follow through on the semi-sweet palate that lead to
a sensational creamy finish. A great food-pairing wine.
Optimum Drinking Time: Two to five years.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - F O O D P A I R I N G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bukettraube is the perfect spicy (but not too hot) fusion food partner. Sweet Cape
curries, sweet barbeques, or goose liver and baked fruits all work well. Monkey gland,
raisin and milder Thai sauces also work well with Bukettraube. We cannot stress
enough that this is not a dessert wine. This wine does not like chocolate or dairy (the
latter, however, if infused with orange peel or sweet fruit flavours, can work). Turkish
desserts are natural Bukettraube partners.
C h e e s e : Boerenkaas, edam, emmental, gruyère and unsmoked provolone will all be
good matches.

Neil Ellis Wild Flower Rose
Dry Provence-style rosé made from Cinsaut. Bright, with a salmon-hue colour and low in alcohol, but substantial in taste and texture. The mesmerizing soft peachy-pink tint grabs the interest upon first glance, and then a bright brush of juicy cherry fruit fills out the palate. Floral and spicy notes linger the background along with the slightest tang of sea salt.
Oak Valley Sounds of Silence Pinot Noir 2021
Oak Valley lies in the heart of the Elgin Valley, renowned for its apples and pears, its greenhouse cut flowers and for the production of its outstanding cool climate wines. With the Oak Valley Sounds of Silence Pinot Noir 2021, the nose reveals cherries, rose petal and inviting cinnamon. The palate offers cranberry and riper cherry flavours with more savoury notes as the red wine breathes. The finish is long and refreshing thanks to the good acidity from the vintage.

Mason Road Serendipity 2022
VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
The 2022 vintage will be remembered as a cool season before harvest,
followed by a sudden temperature spike from January. Good vineyard
practices were followed, and canopies were managed well, which
delivered exceptional grape analyses and wine quality. Temperatures
rose sharply during early January and accelerated the early cultivars’
ripening dates, although we harvested more than a week later than
the previous year. Frequent high temperatures during February further
contributed to harvest dates shifting sooner and harvesting returned
to normal timing by the end of February. We were fortunate not to
experience any crop losses or mildew infections.
TASTING NOTES
SYRAH • GRENACHE NOIR • CINSAULT
A Provence-style rosé with a pale salmon pink colour. Fragrant notes
of hibiscus, fynbos-spice and wild strawberries unspool on the nose.
The palate is red-fruited and generous, plumped with raspberries,
mulberries and sappy cherries; then lifted on the mid-palate with
refreshing watermelon verve. Keenly balanced with a lemony acidity, all
that beautiful, bright fruit is cradled in a fine-boned structure imbued
from old oak ageing.
WINEMAKING
Careful bunch selection was carried out in the vineyard. The Grenache
and Cinsault grapes were whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and
then allowed to ferment in 500 litre old French oak barrels. The Syrah
portion was whole-bunch pressed and then transferred to steel tanks for
fermentation in order to preserve freshness. The Cinsault and Grenache
went through secondary fermentation for added aromatic complexity.
This wine was partially matured in old oak barrels for 11 months, adding
complexity and body.
There's a new financially beneficial option for businesses and individuals who want to drive a new Toyota without the heavy financial burden often associated with vehicle ownership. Here is the info.
Winemaker JD Pretorius performs a bit of magic with this famous Cabernet. All grapes are tank-fermented, allowing the vibrant, rich, ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit to sit front-and-centre. He then ages everything in very old oak for 18 months, which gives the wine time to integrate, but also ensures that nothing obscures that fresh profile of black fruit, berry compote, dark chocolate, and dried herbs.

Expressive on entry, with fresh winter melon, gooseberries and distinctive lime flavours. Juicy and soft on the palate with crisp pear and green apples. Ends in a clean and fruity finish.
A Sauvignon Blanc made from grapes originating from vineyards in Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and the Cape South Coast. Thanks to the varying terroirs, climates and use of different clones, the various distinctive grapes each make a unique contribution to the character of this wine. Blended with a splash of Semillon for added complexity.
STRANDVELD
POFADDERBOS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2022

Anura Syrah Mourvèdre Carignan 2020 Reserve
Fermentation initiated in small open-top oak vats with 20% of the total crush
fermenting naturally and balance using a commercial yeast on both the Shiraz and Mourvedre components. Regular pump overs and manual punch downs were done during fermentation to maximise flavour extraction.

A powerful combination of black cherry, mulberry and blackcurrant flavours
combined with a subtle fragrance of dried peaches and star anise. Complex and
smooth palate with a wonderfully long finish of spice, cigar box and dried fruits.
Pairing suggestions include grilled meats, tomato-based pasta and stews, mature
cheese and venison.

SHE joins the Cape Wine Crafters family of wine brands and, although
so subtle, she makes her presence known from the outset. SHE is a dry
rosé of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and speaks of elegance and sophistication. The rose-gold bottle-printed design of
SHE is modern and minimalist. The back text simply states, “She is worth far more.”
Tasting Notes:
On the nose there are hints of fresh rose petals, jasmine and the first touch of spring. The taste reveals strawberries, watermelon and pink lady apples. The body is elegant and the taste delicate
and deliciously dry.
Jodi and Dael share some of the glimpses of the incredible birdlife on the KZN North Coast and news about the Simbithi Bird Club.

Wolf & Woman Grenache Rose 2021
WOLF & WOMAN Grenache Rosé is made from grapes yielded by
a single bush-vine vineyard, which grows in the Paardeberg region
in granitic soils.
All of the grapes were picked early in the morning, packed in crates
and allowed to spend 24 hours in a cold room. The following day the
grapes were pressed gently and as whole clusters to obtain the perfect
colour. The free run juice was then drained into a stainless-steel
tank to settle for 24 hours.
No enzymes were used during the settling process. The juice was
racked from the thick lees to 500 L old French oak barrels, after
which the wine fermented naturally in the barrel.
After fermentation, the wine was given a low dose of Sulphur and left
on the lees. The wine spent a total of 6 months in old barrels before
it was blended and bottled.

The Jacques Bruere Blanc de Blanc MCC has hints of fresh lime and citrus, complimented by a subtle yeastiness. The palate shows great finesse on the finish with crisp, rich and creamy complexity.
Best served as an aperitif or with oysters and the ideal partner to a seafood platter. It is also great with sushi and lime-flavoured Thai dishes.
Wayne discusses various aspects of the new Zimbali Lakes Development and the extraordinary concept that is Tatali.
•The word Tatali means Cascades in Arabic
•The development comprises a limited selection properties ranging from R12.5 million to R350 million.
•There are only 22 Tatali Sky Apartments and 20 Tatali Mansions on offer, of which the purchase opportunities are by invitation only.
•Award-winning international architecture firms – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects (SAOTA) and Craft of Architecture (COA) were commissioned to create aesthetically pleasing and unique designs with the objective of delivering the most bespoke, private and secure residential offerings for discerning buyers who demand a world-class standard of sophistication and superior service.
•The inspiration behind the futuristic design of the development’s unique oculus feature that is the “eye to the sky” and serves as a high level security and invisible service corridor.
•On par with international trends, buyers will be able to purchase white box penthouses, bespoke mansions and lock-up-and-go apartment suites. This white box concept will include all services, swimming pools and private lifts; thereafter buyers will have the opportunity to consult with the appointed internationally acclaimed architects to curate their own bespoke home according to their exacting individual standards and personal style.
•One of very few estates to boast the trifector of uninterrupted Indian Ocean outlooks, a magnificent golf course and lake views.
•Tatali offers the extraordinary opportunity of being positioned on the highest sea facing site within the Zimbali Lakes Estate therefore offering unhindered views and light through 270 degrees while enjoying exclusive individual access.
•Tatali is nothing short of game-changing for the KwaZulu-Natal and South African property landscape.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are hand harvested early in the vintage and at night when it is coolest (between midnight and 2am). The grapes are picked over two
tranches – the first picking provides the grassy and elegant tones for our Sauvignon Blanc wines while the second selection provides the riper fruit for the
mid-palate that makes this wine so sought after.

Amanda and Eamonn present Eagles Nest 2016 Merlot - This wine exhibits intense flavours of dark berries and spice, with an underlying hint of mocha and tobacco aromas. Meticulous attention in the vineyard and cellar combine to produce a wine with textured fruit purity and tantalizingly firm yet balanced tannins. As with all Eagles’ Nest red’s there is a subtle peppery savouriness that makes this wine both distinctive and gives testament to its origin on a cool wind- swept mountainside. The palate is a satisfying combination of perfectly ripe berry fruit, subtle spice, with a persistent mouthfeel. This wine is ready to drink now but will benefit from correct cellaring until 2030.

This dry white wine has a complex nose of citrus, grapefruit, green apples, and a zesty lime acidity. Hints of typical Darling fynbos, as well as the smell of sea kelp, provides a herbaceousness to the wine. The complex nose follows through on the palate, qually expressive, with a leesy complexity. This wine has purity of fruit, a unique minerality and layers of flavours ending with a saline finish that lingers.
