Trizanne Signature Wines Seascape Range new releases
By Christian Eedes, 15 August 2025
Our Seascape Range from Trizanne Barnard of Trizanne Signature Wines celebrates the terroirs across the Cape South Coast – from elevated Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge to the limestone soils of Benede-Duivenshokrivier, to the cool maritime climate of Elim – all rendered with hallmark energy and precision.
Makeba Cap Classique Brut 2021
Price: R380
Grapes from Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. 67% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay. Four years on the lees. Strawberry, peach and a hint of yeasty complexity on the nose. The palate is full and round with fine, creamy mousse – a residual sugar of 7.2g/l provides guilty pleasure. Alc: 12.02%.
CE’s rating: 90/100.
Sondagskloof White 2024
Price: R475
100% Sauvignon Blanc. 50% given skin contact for approximately three weeks before maturation lasting 10 months in new 500-litre French oak barrels, 50% fermented in older barrels. Complex aromatics of blackcurrant, fennel, white peach and nectarine plus hints of green pepper, honeydew melon and granadilla. The palate is not so much lean as tightly wound with crisp acidity and a super-dry finish. An intellectually demanding proposition as ever. Alc: 12.61%.
CE’s rating: 95/100.
Elim Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2022
Price: R380
60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon. Fermented and matured for 10 months in barrel, 20% new. White peach, lime, herbs, a trace of asparagus and white pepper on the nose. The palate is extraordinarily taut, acidity razor-sharp, the finish bone-dry. Severe for now – cellar with confidence. Alc: 12.19%.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
Benede Duivenshokrivier Chardonnay 2024
Price: R475
Fermented and matured for 10 months in barrel, 35% new. The nose shows a particular herbal top note before pear, peach, citrus, oatmeal and a hint of reduction. Good fruit expression and bright acidity and pithy finish. Full MLF for the first time lends extra dimension over previous vintages. Alc: 12.2%.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
Hemel en Aarde Ridge / Overberg Pinot Noir 2024
Price: R475
Matured for 10 months in barrel, 100% new. Cranberry, cherry, red apple, hints of musk and herbs plus a little smoky reduction on the nose while the palate is lean in the best sense with fresh acidity and chalky tannins. Focused and precise, the most assured release to date. Alc: 12.79%.
CE’s rating: 93/100.
Elim Syrah 2024
Price: R475
Matured for 10 months in barrel, partially new. Hugely aromatic with notes of red berries, fynbos and intense pepper. Light but not too light, with lemon-like acidity and silky tannins. Elegant and seamless, with no dip on the mid-palate. Alc: 13.3%.
CE’s rating: 96/100.
