In earlier years it served as stables and<br> ox pens. We restored the building and equipped it as a small<br> boutique wine cellar.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFF00"><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4"><b>Personal Attention...Traditional methods...</b></font></i></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The wine is made according to traditional methods, thus<br> given as much personal attention as possible.<br> The maturation takes place in Frence and American oak barrels.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3" color="#FFFF00"><b><font size="4">Our Wines</font></b></font></i></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Our range consist of a Sauvignon Blanc, an unwooded Chardonnay and a Red blend, made<br> up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz which will also eventually include Merlot.

Pleasant grassy-greenish nose with a lingering<br> tropical fruit aftertaste. Most enjoyable with creamy<br> pasta, seafood and poultry dishes when served chilled.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Janéza Chardonnay 2002</font></b><br> An unwooded fine balanced wine with a combo of<br> peach-lime and citrus flavours. A thrilling fresh nose<br> leads to a full palate rich in flavours. Most enjoyable<br> with light meals, poultry and seafood dishes when<br> served chilled. </font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Janéza Tresuva 2001</font></b><br> A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Through<br> careful oak maturation, the ripe berries, soft plums and<br> a hint of coffee shows the natural character and the<br> fullness of this elegant wine. Due to minimum<br> stabilisation and filtration a harmless sediment might<br> form, decant if necessary.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4"><b><font color="#FFFF00"><i>Tasting</i></font></b></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Two of the stables have been restored as<br> a tasting room which is open on<br> appointment from:</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Mon - Fr 09h00 -17h00<br> Sat 09h00 - 13h00</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="4"><b><font color="#FFFF00"><i><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Something from the winemaker...</font></i></font></b></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy<br> and drink thy wine with a merry heart."</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Your hosts are Jan and Eza Wentzel at<br> Janéza Private Cellar, PO Box 306,<br> Langverwacht, Bonnievale 6730<br> Tel/Fax: +27 (0)23 616 2848<br> Cell: 082 978 7020<br> E-mail: <a href="mailto:jan.eza@lando.co.za">jan.eza@lando.co.za</a></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Janéza, where life is peaceful and wine fruitful.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000"><b>You are viewing this page because your browser does not support frames.<br> Upgrade/date your browser for a even better Janéza experience.</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br> </font> </p> </body>
