De Vloot (The Fleet)



Named after the unfortunate Dutch East India ships that were shipwrecked off the South African coastline in the 17th and 18th century. The wines are a tribute to the courage and hardship of the crews of the fleet.

CHARDONNAY:-
A far cry from the first wines made in the Cape! This super juicy Chardonnay has been
carefully blended to give it its optimum flavour. Governor van Riebeeck would have

been proud.
MERLOT:-
A royal salute for this Merlot! Centuries after the vines were planted in the Cape, Merlot is
showing its full potential. Governor van der Stel would have served this at his dinner parties.

SHIRAZ:-
A perfect match to the spices that were shipped en route. A wine with body to match, well
balanced to make it last for many years to come. The favourite of the Here XVII
