New Wines from Virgin Earth

   

Reaction to the Virgin Earth brand has been very positive so we've decided to extend the range of wines available under this label from Kobus du Plessis, owner of Havana Hills.

Joining the Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful new Chenin Blanc produced from old bush vines. Offering up concentrated, tangy pear and grapefruit character with just a little wood to add complexity, this is far removed from the simple, entry point wines that South Africa also does well. Virgin Earth Pinotage is also likely to find a few new fans. Seductively supple and succulent, it has lovely, clean bright fruit overlaid with well judged oak.

Stop Press.... Du Plessis Reserve Shiraz has become the first wine to win double gold at the Veritas awards for 5 years in a row!
