Excelsior Chardonnay

"Excelsior Sauvignon Blanc offers an enticing bouquet of passion fruit, lime and ripe fig leads to complex flavors of citrus, herbs and gooseberry on the palate. A bracing acidity and long fruity finish balance out this invigorating, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc." —winemaker

"The Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon is a blackish plum in color with scents of ripe blackcurrants and plummy fruit. The soft ripe tannins balance toasty oak aromas and sweet fruit flavors. It has good structure with a soft, clean finish." —winemaker

"On the nose, notes of blackcurrant, papaya, white pear, melons and grapefruit — all ripe and delicious. Very well balanced and offset by sweet toffee and green bell pepper. On the palate, powerful, mouth-filling and textured. In the Mulderbosch house style, almost a third of this wine's blend was matured on lees in neutral 500L barrels, contributing richness and texture to the wine. This wine exudes what Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc is all about." —winemaker

"Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9.5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste. The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the 'mother of all tripels.' This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years." —brewer
