Winemaker Mariette uses only grapes from Stofberg Family Vineyards in the production of these wines. It focuses on expressing the terroir of the Breedekloof and more specifically the soils on the farm. Vineyards are carefully managed to fit with each of the vines. Due to the size of the operation, the grapes can be harvested when it reaches optimum ripeness.
This case includes:
Mia Chenin blanc 2020
The wine has a pale straw colour with a bright green tinge. We aimed at making a fresh and primary fruit-driven wine. The nose is vibrant with concentrated aromas of citrus and pineapple. On the palate lime and grapefruit meets quince with crisp, refreshing acidity. This is a perfectly balanced wine that should be enjoyed in good company.
Mia Pinot noir Rosé 2017
The wine is primarily fruit-driven with a crisp finish, perfect for the summer. On the nose, the aromas of pink fruits like watermelon and strawberry will dazzle you. The palate is vibrant and bursting with flavours of Turkish delight, candyfloss and ends with refreshing acidity.
Mariëtte Chenin blanc 2018
Pale straw colour with a bright golden tinge. Soft floral and tropical fruit aromas such as honeysuckle and melon on the nose, as well as lightly wooded elegance with undertones of vanilla and spice. The palate is loaded with stone fruit, figs and a hint of citrus, which culminate in crisp acidity and long finish. A truly well-balanced beauty that makes this a winemakers' selection.
Mariëtte Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
A brilliant ruby red colour. It's a full-bodied wine with a complex nose of red fruit like blackcurrant, ripe cherries with oak spice flavours. The palate is bursting with dark fruit, plum and delicate well-integrated oak. The long-lasting palate ends with elegance and silky-smooth tannins. A truly well-balanced beauty that makes this a winemakers' selection.
Mariëtte Chardonnay 2018
Pale straw colour with a bright golden tinge. Tropical fruit aromas such as pear and yellow apple on the nose with a nutty, chalky, fruit-filled finish. The palate is loaded with vanilla, butterscotch and layers of wooded elegance, which culminate in a crisp acidity and mineral finish.

We know the saying "Money can't buy happiness", but you don't often see someone crying on a jetski - and not just because all that water splashing around would make it hard to identify the tears in the first place.
Although we do have to ask: if our savings are this good, shouldn't we be calling it discount therapy instead?
