Heartland Cape Jaffa Purple Hands Wines Featured Singles

The first GSM released by Purple Hands with previous editions having led with Mataro. From our perspective, also the best Grenache blend they have released to date and one of their very best wines overall. Fantastic fragrance here, along with spice, redcurrant, plum, chocolate, cedar and more. Has a tensile aspect which gives this life and lift in a fashion which very few wines can achieve. Exceptional length and a total joy to drink.

A little riper than most PGs, this definitely a nod towards the style of Alsace. Gorgeous ripe pears and musk on the nose and palate which is already creamily textural. This mid-palate mouthfeel will continue to develop with time as the wine grows into itself. Only free run juice from whole bunch pressings were used and a small percentage of the wine spent time in old French oak. The result is a mixture of freshness and texture. This is a wonderful Pinot Gris Learn More

Ripping value, as is every wine carrying the Spice Trader imprimatur. These are medium bodied wines offering dark fruit, spice and an intensity of ripe black fruit. Easy to drink, yet serious and cracking value for money. Learn More

Lots going on here in this aromatic, medium bodied gem. Blackberries, almonds, lush black fruits, spice and fine but assertive tannins. Impossibly easy to drink but with a presence that marks it as being something a bit spesh! Learn More

Medium bodied and fragrant, this beauty offers blackcurrant, thyme, spice and waxy tannins to finish. The seasoning, 1-3 year old French and American oak. That's fairly insane at this price point. A bargain! Learn More

A beautiful and fragrant mid-weight Limestone Coast blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. Cape Jaffa have a knack for making wines that are gloriously drinkable on release and improve, maybe not for 20 years, but for 5+ minimum. This offers, spice, florals and red fruit in abundance, which then leads to darker fruits, a litle cedar and a fine tannin finish. We love it. Learn More

Bright tropical fruits with guava and green mango melding with apple and a citric acid zing. A little skin contact is allowed during ferment to encourage texture and ferment is completed in concrete eggs. Planted in in 1992, the Hoopers had their first vintage in '96, eventually achieving organic and biodynamic certification in 2005. Their entire operation is off grid. Learn More
