The theme of the River’s Edge wines runs along the line of thought that Something small can make a Big Difference. With each bottle of River’s Edge sold, you help to contribute to the Edge of Life Fund. You become an agent of change.”

My personal dream is to day by day step into the bullring of everyday life where the adrenaline is pumping and blood flowing, to say and do and live to the utmost the full measure of each day. To be filled with enthusiasm, to live inspired, to keep dreaming and to let others dream. To live the freedom to which I am born again.

On the River’s Edge Sauvignon blanc vines bear grapes brimming with fruit flavours. These grapes are picked in the cool hours of early morning to capture the freshness in the bottle.             

Light style and clean expression of crisp Sauvignon blanc flavours: Reminiscent of freshly squished lemonade with mint leaves in summer, fig leaves and the smell of apples. Elegant limey flavours and clean mintlike minerality.

This wine I make for my friends. Three grapes are used to make the fruitiest wine imaginable. Sauvignon blanc (40%), Semillon (40%) and Colombard(20%) are put together to create a light style fruity wine

Light and fresh, this blend communicates springtime vivacity. It shows flavours of guava, paw-paw, winter melons, green prickly pears and kiwi fruit.                

2008

The River’s Edge Shiraz will always win many more friends than medals. It is the personality of this wine, a solid good friend.            

Chunky rich youngberry, and full ripe flavours of black grapes and plums with hints of pepper and spice. The silky soft tannins glide down with ease. A dangerously delicious wine.               

2007

Alc. 14.3%
RS 3.3g/l

Braai, potjiekos, biltong, stews, steak and venison.

Tricolore was inspired whilst working for a harvest season in France. We loved their combination of style, flair and a love of life and decided to call this wine Tricolore.

An orchard of ripe black cherries, blueberries and plums join together in seamless harmony. The berry flavours are well matched with the spice of gentle oak ageing.

Lamb chops barbequed on open fire and underdone fillet.
