About this Item
“A good wine to everyone is a great wine to no one. And that, for me, is the essence of what I am trying to achieve behind my Cape Winemakers Guild Auction wines: wines that are rare, wines that can provoke your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions.” - Andrea Mullineux
100% Sémillon
• Sémillon Gris is considered a South African phenomenon and this wine has gained an international following for its quality and rarity.
• In the mid-1800s, 40% of all vineyards in South Africa were Sémillon Gris, but now only a few exist.
• This vineyard was planted in 1960 on the granite slopes of the Paardeberg.
• We took cuttings from this vineyard and spent 10 years repropagating them through a nursery, and have replanted the country’s first official, legally recognized Sémillon Gris on our regenerative organically farmed vineyard, Roundstone.
“O siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela ngapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukuhlupheka”
This wine represents a transition from the past to the future, as does the metaphor of transformation represented in the lyrics of Johnny Clegg & Savuka's powerful "O Siyeza".
