The Dreyer family bought the farm in 1982 and planted its first vineyards in 1999, naming the winery after owner Piet Dreyer’s much-loved fishing vessel. Their Sangiovese offers a distinctive Cape interpretation of the great Italian variety – lighter on its feet than many local reds, with vivid cherry fruit, savoury herbs and the lively acidity that makes Sangiovese such a natural partner for food.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
