About Catherine Marshall Wines is the first eponymous range in South Africa to be released by a woman winemaker. What began as a festive three-barrel foot stomp event attended by a handful of friends on a south peninsula beach in 1996, produced a very palatable Syrah, and saw the founding in 1997 of the first true micro-winery in the Western Cape with Pinot Noir the focus. The aptly named Barefoot Wine Company trading as Catherine Marshall Wines has long outgrown its humble origins to become a legendary institution and exporting to most wine consumer destinations world- wide. After scouring vineyards throughout the Western Cape, the decision was made in 2007 to source all grapes from cool climate Elgin and to craft both red and white wines with a fresh, bright and aromatic profile. The grapes destined for the range are selected from reputable growers in the Elgin and Hemel-en-Aarde Valleys, Stellenbosch and Swartland. The range includes Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Grenache and a Merlot/ Cabernet Franc blend. Cathy heads up vineyard selection, wine production, marketing and sales whilst Greg Mitchell supports the behind- the- scenes business side of the Company. Jonathan Oxenham, Cathy’s son, helps in the cellar during the harvest season. MENU RIESLING 2021 SANDSTONE PINOT NOIR 2020 CLAY SOIL PINOT NOIR 2021 PETER'S VISION 2017 GRENACHE 2021

About Over the years the Colmant brand, quality and reputation has grown from strength to strength. Always in search of the perfect bubble, exciting new changes happened at Colmant Cap Classique and Champagne at the start of 2019 with the announcement that Paul Gerber, one of South Africa’s leading Cap Classique makers, had joined the team as winemaker. Paul has come with a wealth of knowledge and shares Jean-Philippe Colmant’s passion of striving to produce the finest boutique Cap Classique in South Africa, with balance, elegance and finesse. Colmant’s Cap Classiques reflect the terroir of the Western Cape regions showing ripeness and fullness but still retaining freshness and balance, exclusively using the traditional champagne varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in their production process, more or less in equal proportions. Colmant select their grapes from different sites, according to the specific characteristics of each terroir, ensuring that there are enough components to work with to make a base wine with maximum complexity. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes contribute their own specific qualities, without which complete balance and harmony would not be possible. Colmant source their Pinot Noir grapes from versatile origins, coming from five different farms located between Franschhoek, Robertson and Elgin, all of which offer their own distinct desirable characteristics of body and finesse. Chardonnay brings finesse, life, freshness and elegance and its slow development gives an ideal ageing potential. Out of the Chardonnay grapes Colmant use, over 50% are grown by on the Colmant Farm, where the soil provides a perfect balance between full structure and a level of acidity that brings freshness and vivacity. The remainder of their Chardonnay comes from the limestone soils of Robertson and Bonnievale as well as the cooler climate of Elgin and Hemel-en-Aarde.
