wine & beer
This wine list has been put together by friends, family & the îdp team. We decided to abandon rules and conformity. Our wines have been chosen in blind tasting ultimately for their drinkability, suitability to our times of day, our menus and their stylistic differences…there’s something for everyone and we love them all.
BUBBLES… BRING ON THE FIZZ!
A work of time; 4 years on the lees before degorgement. one of SA’s finest, sophisticated, creamy mousse, fine bubble, citrus & brioche… great follow through from nose to palate… this fizz is right at home in our aromatic bakery
A pioneer from the garagiste handcrafted movement, an exceptional and rare offering. all berries with a touch of toastiness and lingering dry finish
A local of consistent excellence. fine and lively mousse, bright green gold hues mirror and a bright lime acidity and buttery nutty brioche… complex and seriously good
Made in MCC tradition, but taken off the lees early to retain freshness & zing, so not an MCC by classification – a perfect summer beverage to start off your breakfast or lunch
Bubbles for two? a dependable SA favourite, fine bead, lime zest with delicate yeast and creamy mousse
SAUVIGNON BLANC
A particularly good year for this elegant, restrained beauty… only teases of fruitiness, so beautifully balanced; a great choice for those who prefer a more delicate sauvignon
This is the kind of sauvignon that got the craze going a decade ago, almost retro in it’s classic fig leaf and grapefruit nose, full round mouthfeel and racy acidity in the balance, a regular 90 points plus in decanter magazine
Local lekkerness, warm tropical nose, touches of pineapple and nectarine zing… summer freshness
Extreme cream with sun-kissed tropical fruit in delicate oak embrace
RIESLING
Unctuous, velvety liquid gold in a glass. a perfect companion for spicier dishes, cheeses and strangely, dark chocolate a beautiful example and fitting too for the slightly sweeter palate
CHARDONNAY
Fresh, sun warmed lime skins, apricot plumpness…yes, yes unwooded we know! but try this delight, the tiny 15% 2nd and 3rd fill barrel oaking, lends only a delicate spiced tea cake to the finish – adding interest, not carpentry
After our team’s recent visit to the region, this is a standout vintage of a long established great. careful supportive wooding that cradles mouth-filling fruit. will be an exquisite companion for our summer duck dish
CHENIN BLANC
A seamless expression of Chenin, masterfully weaving the best of Stellenbosch and Swartland into a silky white peach and toasted almond glass of deliciocity
A pleaser for the cheninistas. concentrated sun-warmed nectarine skins, moreish & buttersotchy richness, alive & zingy
A first for SA, high-density vertical planting… yielding mind-expanding appreciation of depth of flavour. in our humble opinion the best chenin blanc in South Africa. an exceptional companion for our popeye salad
GREAT WHITE & BLEND TRENDS
Truly a unique wine, 50% fermented on skins like a red wine, the balance whole bunch pressed. french oak is used sensitively, wild yeast adds more dimensionality. an exquisite experience especially for those of us not so keen on sauvies… we dare you
this wine is somewhat of a magician – plays on being super huge and viscous whilst being elegant, layered and subtle at the same time – oh and it’s organic & vegan! swartland alchemy at it’s best
On a recent hemel en aarde trip this mama caught our attention and had us drooling imagining our bobotie spring rolls! complex and luxurious from nose to finish and utterly moreish
94 points tim atkin, chenin driven with chardonnay, bright splashes of sauvignon blanc and viognier. wild yeast, barrel fermented and unfiltered… this natural beauty has wonderful balance, still refreshing whilst being a big wine, enjoy with our new duck & cassoulet dish
ROSE
This little sexy socks fox is a slightly bigger more fruit driven rose, gorgeous strawberry skin nose, the perfect partner for our classic idp toasted ham & cheese sarmie or even a glass for “sommer so”
This year’s passion project release from the garagiste house of migliarina—what happens when you take some of the finest blocks of pinot noir and handle gently to make a fine, super dry blanc de noir? a rose gold treasure for old world rosé enthusiasts
Our pink princess of the summer, think roses, pomegranate pearls, cherry cheeks, backlit by cheery bright fresh acidity… get on the rose-tinted glasses and enjoy
PINOT NOIR
Ticks all the right boxes for serious pinot noir without the hefty price tag. wild berries, sour cherries, a hint of spice & tender violet perfume
GRENACHE
A truly exciting food wine, juicy fruit, grenache treated in the cellar like german pinot noir… makes for a purrrfect red served chilled or room temperature. stunning with duck confit!
CAB FRANC
Always an excellent offering from cab franc specialist Bruwer Raats. tart cherries, ripe plums, a perfect medium-bodied red for summer and a perfect partner for our dragon burger
BLENDS
Lovely, luxurious mouthfeel, nicely knit tennins… a mystery that such quality can be produced for such value! made for in-the-moment and undoubtedly a match for our Migo’s short rib
