OUR WINE PHILOSOPHY
Our winemaker, Rolanie Lotz, is especially renowned for crafting excellent Rhone-style varietals and blends, specialising in Shiraz, but also creates outstanding Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. All the grapes are handpicked where the bunches are further hand-sorted so that only the best bunches are used for fermentation and further maturation.
Our main goal is to showcase our unique terroir by preserving as much of the natural fruit aromas and character of our grapes as possible. We meticulously craft every wine with a very strong emphasis on expression, complexity, and balance. When ready for you to enjoy, the wine will always be sophisticated, elegant, and refined.
Our motto is, “Wines that will help you create memories that will last forever.” – Rolanie Lotz, Cellarmaster.
BLACK MARBLE HILL RANGE
Cap Classique | Chardonnay | Syrah
Black Marble Hill Fhatuwani Cap Classique 2016
This blanc de blanc oozes complexity. Layer upon layer of different flavours and aromatics, from primary fruity aromatics to wonderful secondary biscuity autolytic characters, are quite prominent due to the extended time the wine spends on the lees. The wine has retained a lovely fizz and just enough sweetness to complete the wine and fill the palate.
AWARDED TOP 10 (91 POINTS) AT THE PRESCIENT CAP CLASSIQUE REPORT 2021

Black Marble Hill Chardonnay 2020
This is as good a Chardonnay as you will find anywhere in South Africa. It is incredibly well made with wonderful wood use that supports the wine but doesn’t stand apart from it. The nose bursts with aromatics of lemon curd and orange blossoms. The palate is lit up on entry with bright and crisp acidity revealing layers of ripe nartjie and kei apple. The mid-palate is a wonderful mix of citrus notes fresh yellow lemon and orange marmalade with a creamy mouth-filling, layered with top notes of sweet baking spices. The wine finishes with pleasant lingering flavours of pressed lime leaves.

The wine bursts with fresh red fruit initially with flavours of bright red plum and raspberry but develops on to the mid-palate to a much more broody mouth-filling black plum with strawberry jam highlights. The finish is bright and fresh, finishing with an aroma of dried raspberries and a distinct floral violet note.
Rhebokskloof Chardonnay 2019
An elegant and pleasant easy-drinking Chardonnay. It is a good honest wine with lots of citrus fruit on the nose and palate, plush, and has lovely linear acidity. The finish is long and dry.

DE GROTE HAMMERSMA – 9/10
Rhebokskloof Shiraz 2019
This wine is a magnificent window into the specific terroir at Rhebokskloof and highlights the cellarmaster’s talent. The fruit is full and expressive but still maintains a veil of elegance. The wine has an inviting nose of cinnamon and white pepper layered with berries. Red fruit dominates the palate with an intriguing sweet and sour sensation of red plum and early ripening strawberry. The wine has a lovely punchy texture with grippy tannins and pointed acidity. It finishes where it starts with hints of cinnamon and white pepper which carry on long after the last sip.

Rhebokskloof Pinotage 2019
An excellent example of a plush fruit-driven Pinotage. The fruit is prominent and juicy but not overly so and shows wonderful freshness. Alluring aromas of strawberries and ripe raspberries are prominent on both the nose and palate. The wine has a wonderfully elegant texture with soft lush tannin that seamlessly blends into the wonderfully dense explosion of fruit on the midpalate. The opulent fruit is beautifully restrained by the bright and lively acidity which stands out on entry and lingers on to the long fruity finish.

A cluster of red and dark berries explode out of the glass layered with spicy clove aromas. The palate is rich and opulent with cranberry and blackberry notes with a savoury top note of black olives and hints of sweet cardamom. The wine is firm but elegant with a velvety mouthfeel and grippy tannin on the finish.

BERLIN WEIN TROPHY – GOLD
GILBERT & GILLIARD – SILVER
Flatrock White 2020
A field blend of the white varietals on the estate. A wonderful showcase of terroir. The fruit is wonderfully ripe and bursting with flavour but well restrained by refreshing acidity. The Grenache Blanc adds a lovely grippy texture to the broad mid-palate, and clever use of the lees gives the wine a creamy mouth feel. The fruit aromatics linger after the last sip.
Flatrock Red 2018
A showcase of the two most prominent red varieties growing on the estate. The fruit is very juicy and lush, with a mostly red fruit profile of strawberry and plum. Both wines add a lot of specific characters to the blend. The Syrah adds a pleasant violet aromatic, and the Pinotage contributes with plush red fruit and soft tannin. There is a subtle top note of black peppercorn that adds to the allure of the wine.
AWARDED DOUBLE GOLD BY ULTRA VALUE WINES, GOLD BY BERLINER WEIN TROPHY, AND 3 STARS BY PLATTER GUIDE.
