New World

From pinot vines planted on sandstone soil which provides moisture throughout the growing season and a undercurrent mineral complexity for a wine as intriguing as it is delicious.

"... a class act. From the estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa, owned by the fabled May-Éliane de Lencquesaing (formerly of Château Pichon Lalande), it's remarkably good value."

Combining the rich and savoury, peppery character of the syrah with cabernet sauvignon's blackberries, cherries and floral spices and with touches of merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.

A sumptuous shiraz/pinotage blend from the seabreezed vineyards in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley where many of the finest South African wines are made. Rhone-like structure and depth of flavour.

Clayvin has become an historic benchmark for premium quality in Marlborough, rendering pinots of great elegance, complexity and Burgundian finesse.
