The Cellar
Around eighty labels, most from growers you have not heard of yet. We would rather pour something honest than something famous.
Cellar Selections
Three bottles worth the occasion.
Single vineyard · Magnum available
Cuvée Réserve, Costières de Nîmes 2020
A brooding, structured red saved for the last course. Dense black fruit, cedar, and a finish that keeps going. The bottle Julien pours when a table has something to celebrate.
Bottle
R2,850
Library release · 24 bottles left
Grand Vin, Stellenbosch 2015
Ten years in the cellar before we let it near a glass. Graphite and dried cherry give way to something almost savoury — the kind of bottle that quiets a table.
Bottle
R3,400
Hand-disgorged · Low dosage
Blanc de Blancs, Grower Champagne NV
A single grower, a single parcel of chalk. Fine bead, brioche, a long chalky finish — the only sparkling wine on the list we would call serious.

By the Glass
No wine on the list is poured only by the bottle.
Ask Julien and the floor team for the current by-the-glass selection — it changes weekly with what’s opened for pairing service.
Save a seat at the counter.
Bring a bottle, or let Julien build the pairing. Either way, book ahead.
