About
Helderberg, 2015, Cabernet Sauvignon, need we say more? Aromas of blackcurrant with violets and tea leaf nuances. A soft but very well structured tannin backbone. This is an extremely juicy wine with a wonderfully layered pallet. Definitely one for the cellar. The wine is drinking well now but it will only peak in a year or two. Potential to hold onto the wine for another 5 years.

Dreams are weird
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Nobody wants to hear it. You end up sounding like a toddler trying to explain the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
The only dream worth talking about is Martin Luther's. Fact.
Anyhoo, we had a dream we sold out by noon today and spent the rest of our time hanging out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Home Affairs. Crazy, huh?
