3. Our Private Collection
SIR PERCY
Sir Percy, a classic Bordeaux-style wine, was made in 2004 as a dedication to the Bilton
family‟s great-grandfather, Sir Percy Bilton. Ruby-red in colour it has beautifully
balanced tannins and black olive/leather aroma with hints of violet.
THE BILTON
Dark, intense red in colour. Aromatic, classic French
connection, smokey, blueberries, mint, violets, musky. Most importantly is the aroma of
black cherries, similar to the great AMARONE wine of the Valpolicella area in Italy. Long
lingering aftertaste. A spicy and well-balanced wine. Drink now or enjoy later....2030+
VIOGNIER 2008
This golden wine, aged in completely new barrels of 90% French oak and a dash of Acacia
wood, has a sweet, opulent nose-into-mouth feel with a big, velvety structure. The bouquet
of peach and lemon blossom is laced with hints of honey, and finishes with a long sweet-
spicey, well-balanced aftertaste.
This bold wine is best enjoyed by 2015.

5. Our Cellar Collection
SHIRAZ 2006
This wine billows with aromas of wild berry, organic, meaty and spicy flavours. Vanilla
and cinnamon are accompanied by attractive whiffs of leather, black olives and fine
oak.
The rich and complex palate rewards with a velvety and intense body with balanced
tannins and a lingering aftertaste. Because it is well structured, this wine has great
ageing potential. It is superb with roast lamb and mint sauce, well-cured ham, spicy
chicken and red meat
MERLOT 2007
This Merlot has a deep purple colour, a “sweet” enticing nose: sweet violets, lavender,
ripe plum cherry with a sweet-spicy backing. It all repeats in the mouth with the
addition of sweet chocolate and a hint of coffee.
CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2006
This is an elegantly stylish wine that entices with an earthy bouquet of cloves, cinnamon
and black olives with touches of tobacco and truffle. The well-balanced, masculine
palate delights with complex layers of developing fruit and the wine has a superbly
lingering aftertaste.
Enjoy now or within six to eight years from harvest. While this is a versatile table
companion, rare grilled steak and rich stews are especially recommended.

7. The Matt Black Collection
MATT BLACK 2008
The first vintage to be released on the local market, is a rich blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon,
Shiraz, Petit Verdot and Merlot with a smattering of Mourvèdre and Pinotage.
Winemaker Rudi de Wet describes this luscious red as a complex blend with a
lovely, deep garnet colour that bursts with flavours of wild berries and ripe cherries.
The Petit Verdot adds a mild spice, while the Cabernet Sauvignon a succulent
meatiness. The well-rounded palate rewards with mellow ripe tannins overflowing into a
lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate.
MATT BLACK Sauvignon Blanc 2011
This is an elegant, fruit-driven wine, layered with aromas of kiwi-fruit, sweet
apples, passion fruit and Namakwa„s floral notes. Green pear and peas present
beautifully on the palate and is followed by a smooth rounded aftertaste. Classic in
style showing great balance in structure and acidity.
