I will keep you posted on our Super Bilton and Viognier that will be released later this year - Both were made very differently from the normal wine making styles we know. Speak soon!

I'm also just starting to get the hang of social media - to say the least, its a little overwhelming. I'm based in Northern California and represent several wineries. I saw your post about SA and it reminded me of how beautiful it was back in 04. Hard to find a really good Pinotage out here!
