Peter Bayly III
The Peter Bayly III, a blend of three Portuguese grape varieties - Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca & Souzao was borne from a spark of curiosity and the fact that no one had tried to blend these varieties together as a table wine in South Africa yet. The III is special due to the fact that our vineyard is located high up in the foot hills of the Swartberg and planted on shale with very little top soil, the vines struggle their way through to find water nutrients. Our unique location allows for a long slow ripening season, resulting in concentrated fruit and an elegant wine with low alcohol, good acidity, superb structure, great for accompanying hearty dishes and most importantly, a good glass to enjoy and share with friends, family or passers-by.

This dry Cape White Port is a blend of the 2008 through to 2021 vintages, produced from 100% Chenin Blanc grown in the deep red fertile soils of the Calitzdorp valley. Only 1300 bottles were produced, using artisanal vinification techniques - such as the use of lagares, manual pigeage and maturation in seasoned barrique.
A shy bouquet of roast almond, crushed oats and hints of orange blossom and lemon rind, unfolds into an ethereal, complex and lengthy palate. Peach pip, dried apricot, Seville marmalade, roast almonds and hints of spice taunt the senses, while the Port ends with a characteristically dry finish.
Peter Bayly’s Cape White Port is best served well chilled, and can be paired with a myriad of dishes, such Moroccan lamb tajine with saffron infused rice; Kingklip wrapped in Prosciutto served with baby potato and watercress salad; slow roasted organic chicken with roast potatoes, green beans and vine-roasted tomatoes or a sumptuous Canard a l’Orange. Alternatively serve well-chilled with a selection of fine cheeses, olives, dried tomatoes, cured meats and farm style bread.

From old vines planted West of Malmesbury on deep red decomposed granite & ironstone soils. Dry farmed bush vines planted in 1968. Hand harvested at dawn, crushed and pressed - cold fermented with neutral yeasts, post fermentation racked with fine lees into tank for three months cold maturation on fine lees. Lightly filtered at bottling.
Upfront citrus, peach & that tell-tale combination of yellow citrus and sunkissed apricot flavours so typical of the Swartland with good acid and bright spice twang at the end. An ideal aperitif or accompaniment to fine seafood.
