Take
the Sauvignon Blanc 2002 for example. Just in, and we
suspect soon to be just sold-out, it got a Veritas Double-Gold
and 4.5 points from John Platter. The Cabernet Sauvignon
Du Plessis Reserve was highly recommended by Decanter
Magazine in the recent tasting and the list of Veritas
awards for Havana Hills’ reds is long and impressive.
Not bad for a very young estate.
Watch
out for the addition of a new wine, Havana Hills Cabernet
Shiraz, early this autumn.
Fantastically
situated high on the slopes of the Olifantskop overlooking
Table Bay, just 7 km from the ocean, the estate is mostly
dry farmed and as well as vines has just harvested it’s
first crop of olives. It is home to an abundance of
wildlife and fynbos species.
We
feel sure that Havana Hills is going to cause a stir
and it’s great to be in at the beginning of something
this exciting.
