I have visited this winery before for a wine tasting, and I have been there once for lunch and once for dinner on separate occasions but decided to visit again to see if the wines are as I remembered them to be.
Briekorp 2012 at R55 a bottle is an unwooded Chardonnay. It was smooth, fruit driven, had tones of apricot, was a little bitter on the finish, with a nice round mouth feel. It had a fresh finish.
Berghaan 2012 at R45 a bottle is a Pinotage Rose. It had a lovely ruby red colour, lovely fruity characteristics, was off dry. I believe this wine would be quite a versatile food wine.
Tiervoel 2008 at R45 a bottle is a blend of Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon (70%/30%). This wine was smooth, light-medium bodied, pleasant easy drinking, berry flavours, light tannins.
Kroonarend 2009 at R60 a bottle is a blend of Syrah, Mouvedre and Viognier. Pleasant drinking wine, little spicy, little dry. Some interesting flavours. I picked up a little bit of licorice...
Muscat D'Alexandrie is a dessert wine at R50 a bottle.This was smooth, medium-full bodied, and it has a little brandy kick to it.
I feel that Eaglevlei is producing some very pleasant wines at a great price!! These are in my opinion great value for money wines. Eaglevlei has a nice restaurant, it is affordable and tasty food. They have plenty of seats inside and outside, a great area for children to play and a nice fireplace inside. This is a nice option for those with children.
