These winners below all scored 8 to 9 out of 10 -
truly great examples of the winemaker’s art. We
LOVED them and hope YOU will too.
23 years ago – a year after 34 South opened on the Knysna Waterfront as a
partnership between Charles van Tonder and Leslie Pieters, Charles asked
PeeBee (Peter Bishop, a Mathematics teacher and Sports coach) to procure
some old wines to sell and to advise on selections. Some great collections
were sold and people came back each year looking for their birthday year
wine or “What’s new?”
We started a popular PeeBee’s Top Ten that made searching easier, and the
big selling point was the story as narrated or as hand-written on cards. In
that way, each customer was a winner – he had something he could brag
about – and why not.
PeeBee’s interest in wine started in 1975 by BeeJay Lankwarden – a man of
great kindness and aplomb. He has written on wine for Wynboer and for
the CXPress and, now resident in Cape Town still attends top tastings to
keep informed.
PeeBee, Charles and Keith (Davis) – the Manager of 34 South – taste wines
periodically in order to create a “A Rare and Fine Wine” Selection more
specifically aimed at the tourist who wishes to be exposed to a higher level
of wine than on ordinary lists.
PeeBee looks at the structure, the memory, the length of the wine. Charles
makes no apology for his role: “I taste it, I like it. It is much
more than “eminently drinkable!” now, at the table, or at home.
Keith, who deals directly with the Fine Wine lover focuses on
the finish in so far as the wine matches the dishes at 34 South.
NEWTON JOHNSON PINOT
NOIR 2017 *****
From all soils of farm’s sites. Perfumed
with cranberries and violets; denser
fruit substrata from clay-rich vineyards;
then firm structure from higher-lying
gravel, with Burgundian oak boost.
Finesse, elegance, complexity.
THE 34 SOUTH WINE PANEL
CEDERBERG 5 GENERATIONS
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2016
*****
David Nieuwoudt, 5th generation in
the high-lying cool Cedeberg
mountains is proud of the
“Stellenbosch taken to the Hills” farm.
Only 3000 of this particular wine is
produced - mostly for the Winemakers
Guild. Black currant, cassis, cherry,
tobacco - a symphony of tastes.
JEREMY WALKER’S
GRANGEHURST NIKELA *****
IN 1993 Jeremy joined the Pinotage
Association who decreed that a
“Cape Blend” must have 24%
Pinotage and that is what he did to
this wine. 24% Pinotage with the
same amount of Shiraz, 34%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot,
fermented separately in barrels for 28
months and only released a decade
later. Nikela means the offering of a
gift to one’s ancestor.
SPRINGFIELD WORK OF TIME

Maverick and Patriarch Abrie Bruwer

produced in vintages of exceptional
quality. Balance, harmony, calmness.

Ernie Els Proprietor Blend 2016
395
This wine is big and bold - purportedly a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot
blend with a Helderberg touch - a dollop of full ripe Shiraz to build up the
mouthfeel. By using French and American oak one gets the dichotomy of
serious complexity and welcome full taste.
Grangehurst Nikela 2007
445
24% Pinotage with the same amount of Shiraz, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon
and 8 % Merlot fermented separately in barrels for 28 months and only
released a decade later.
Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
465
Beautifully toned, with the lead pencil and blackcurrant feel in the mouth
that one associates with a top Cabernet Sauvignon. The great vintage of
2015 adds to the perfection. Grace, charm and no severity.
Tokara Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
495
Dark red, blackberries, hard spices, cedar - all those flavours that glorified
the Cabernets of the 70’s. Texture and beautifully ripe tannins.
Waterford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
495
This wine is only 94% Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Petit Verdot
Cab Franc and Merlot. From Helderberg soils and limiting new oak barrels
to 26% with 18 months in oak.
Newton Johnson Pinot Noir 2017/18
625
The reliance in this wine is the easy fruit enjoyed in the heat of summer.
Pinot Noir are ultra-sensitive to site, hence the nuances they yield.
Rust en Vrede Estate 2016
675
Area Cape Blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. 9% Merlot is added
to give width. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the barrels softening the
acids and allowing for the famed complexity.
Hamilton Russel Pinot Noir 2017
685
The perfume, the plum, the pomegranate all show the closeness to nature.
British Master of Wine Greg Sherwood scores the wine 95+ rating it as
going 20 years.
Cedarberg 5 Generations Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
835
Only 3000 bottles are produced mostly for the winemakers Guild.
Blackcurrent, cassis, cherry, tobacco - a symphony of tastes. Great to
experience ripe tannins, rich fruit, tightness. 18 months in new French oak.

There’s no denying that a glass of something sparkling is one pf the best ways to
celebrate any special occasion. You probably call it Champagne to keep things simple,
but is what’s in your glass really MCC? Or is it sparkling wine?
MCC
Méthode Cap Classique is the “South African version” of Champagne. It’s made
using the same process as French Champagne - it just can’t carry the same name. The
quality of South African MCC is often referred to as being on par with French
Champagne, at a much more affordable price.
Of course, the most important thing is that it’s all delicious - so cheers to that.
SPARKLING WINE
Sparkling wine starts off as a still wine -
it’s made in exactly the same way as that
glass of Chardonnay you love to sip after
a long day at the office and the addition
of carbon dioxide makes it fizzy. Sparkling
wine is normally more affordable than
MCC or Champagne, as it doesn’t take
as much time to produce the bubbles.
CHAMPAGNE
Champagne, of course, can only be called
Champagne if it’s made using grapes grown
in the Champagne region France. It’s made
using a second bout of fermentation (after
the grape juice has turned into wine) inside
the bottle. This causes the fizz to occur
naturally and no additional carbon dioxide
needs to be added.

WHY SAUVIGNON BLANC?
Originating
in
Sancerre
(France)
Sauvignon
Blanc
survives
market
swings.
It
is
the
ideal
wine
for
a
warm
summer’s
day
where
its
‘lime
and
apple’
acids
(citric
and
malic)
create
the
saliva
that
we
want
to
enjoy
our
chosen
dishes.
Generally
there
is
a
mild
run
of
pyrazines
(green
pepper)
that
weld
the
other
nuances
that
vary
from
asparagus,
gooseberry,
fig,
peach,
pineapple,
lime
according
to
the
disposition
of
the
winemaker.
Fortunately
in
the
Cape,
the
different
regions
have
their
own
identification,
making
the
wine most interesting albeit bone dry.

CHARDONNAY
What is the difference between wooded
and unwooded Chardonnay?
Quite
simply,
unwooded
Chardonay
or
“unoaked”
is
wine
that
has
never
seen
the
inside
of
an
oak
barrel.
Typically
it
will
be
wine
that
is
fermented
in
a
stainless
steel
tank
as
opposed to a wooden (oak) cask or barrel.
The
oak
typically
helps
to
balance
the
tannins,
among
other
things,
and
gives
wine
that
“full
mouth”
feel
with
lots
of mid-palate tastes.
Unoaked
wines
are
great
for
people
who
claim
to
have
an
“allergy”
to
wine.
it
is
he
tannins
that
people
typically
react
to,
and
those
come
from
both
the
skins
and
stems
of
the
grapes,
but
also
from
the
oak
barrels.
If
you
don’t
“oak”
a
wine,
then
you
have
a
lower
tannin
level
which
should
make the wine bearable to drink for the afore-
mentioned crowd.

There’s no denying that a glass of something sparkling is one pf the best ways to
celebrate any special occasion. You probably call it Champagne to keep things simple,
but is what’s in your glass really MCC? Or is it sparkling wine?
MCC
Méthode Cap Classique is the “South African version” of Champagne. It’s made
using the same process as French Champagne - it just can’t carry the same name. The
quality of South African MCC is often referred to as being on par with French
Champagne, at a much more affordable price.
Of course, the most important thing is that it’s all delicious - so cheers to that.
SPARKLING WINE
Sparkling wine starts off as a still wine -
it’s made in exactly the same way as that
glass of Chardonnay you love to sip after
a long day at the office and the addition
of carbon dioxide makes it fizzy. Sparkling
wine is normally more affordable than
MCC or Champagne, as it doesn’t take
as much time to produce the bubbles.
CHAMPAGNE
Champagne, of course, can only be called
Champagne if it’s made using grapes grown
in the Champagne region France. It’s made
using a second bout of fermentation (after
the grape juice has turned into wine) inside
the bottle. This causes the fizz to occur
naturally and no additional carbon dioxide
needs to be added.

WHY SAUVIGNON BLANC?
Originating
in
Sancerre
(France)
Sauvignon
Blanc
survives
market
swings.
It
is
the
ideal
wine
for
a
warm
summer’s
day
where
its
‘lime
and
apple’
acids
(citric
and
malic)
create
the
saliva
that
we
want
to
enjoy
our
chosen
dishes.
Generally
there
is
a
mild
run
of
pyrazines
(green
pepper)
that
weld
the
other
nuances
that
vary
from
asparagus,
gooseberry,
fig,
peach,
pineapple,
lime
according
to
the
disposition
of
the
winemaker.
Fortunately
in
the
Cape,
the
different
regions
have
their
own
identification,
making
the
wine most interesting albeit bone dry.

CHARDONNAY
What is the difference between wooded
and unwooded Chardonnay?
Quite
simply,
unwooded
Chardonay
or
“unoaked”
is
wine
that
has
never
seen
the
inside
of
an
oak
barrel.
Typically
it
will
be
wine
that
is
fermented
in
a
stainless
steel
tank
as
opposed to a wooden (oak) cask or barrel.
The
oak
typically
helps
to
balance
the
tannins,
among
other
things,
and
gives
wine
that
“full
mouth”
feel
with
lots
of mid-palate tastes.
Unoaked
wines
are
great
for
people
who
claim
to
have
an
“allergy”
to
wine.
it
is
he
tannins
that
people
typically
react
to,
and
those
come
from
both
the
skins
and
stems
of
the
grapes,
but
also
from
the
oak
barrels.
If
you
don’t
“oak”
a
wine,
then
you
have
a
lower
tannin
level
which
should
make the wine bearable to drink for the afore-
mentioned crowd.
