The wines of Iona come from a dramatically unique site in the Cape Winelands. The vineyards are on a mountain plateau 420 metres above sea level, surrounded by the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. In a country where cool sites are precious, these vineyards are like gold – the grapes ripening up to two months later than other Cape vineyards and in perfect balance. Iona is South Africa's coolest vineyard site.
Iona's second label is Sophie Te'blanche,the most famous woman to never exist, and also a nickname in South Africa for "Sauvignon Blanc".

Lovely floral aromas, showing lime and mineral undertones. Ripe gooseberry and pears on the palate with a fresh finish.

Apples and cherries on the nose with an undertone of fresh cut grass. The palate is clean and crisp with soft red fruits and a pleasingly dry finish
100% Cabernet Sauvignon rose
Perfumed nose of oak and dark red fruits underpinned by leather and spice. The palate is soft and lush with bright cherry fruit. Simply delicious
Cabernet sauvignon 54% / Merlot 40% / Syrah 6%
