Fantail
Sauvignon Blanc/Chenin Blanc
South African artist, Piet Grobler, provides an illustration of iridescent beauty. The majestic tail plumage emulates the extravagance of flavour found in a bottle of Fantail. Morgenhof Cellar is situated on the fertile slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, just outside Stellenbosch.
The bird's beauty and exuberance is reflected in the character of the range of wines, which includes a rosι, a white and three red wines. The essence of the wines is as bold and distinctive as the eye-catching fantasy bird which graces the Fantail label.
