“Dark Leap” is inspired by the boldness of risk

the act of leaping into the unknown

the audacious move to bet on instinct, vision, and untapped potential

This wine embodies that same energy

blending unfamiliar varieties from remarkable single vineyards

grown by committed farmers across the Cape

From the winemaker's website:

Rüdger van Wyk didn't grow up in the South African Winelands. He grew up in George, four hours away. His parents were teachers who raised three sons to believe education could break any cycle. His father dreamed of studying geology. Apartheid said otherwise. That quiet hunger for something more planted a seed that would grow into New Dawn.

He studied at Stellenbosch University. He relentlessly refined his craft. Then Burgundy called and that changed everything. Wine became a way of life. Croissants at breakfast. Long lunches with friends. Family dinners. All accompanied by wine. He returned home inspired to create wines that could compete on any stage.

NEW DAWN represents Rüdger's leap of faith. Into the unknown, the darkness. It marks the beginning of his evolution as a founder, winemaker, and owner of a South African wine brand. It signals the evolution of the South African wine industry.  And Rüdger stands as a catalyst for this NEW CAPE movement.

Marie-Laure, an owner-winemaker, came to the U.S. from France and brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked with Pierre Seillan and then for 18 years under Philippe Melka before launching Nid Tissé with the 2019 vintage.

The wines are all fermented with a pied à cuve derived from native yeasts and see full malolactic fermentation before being bottled unfiltered. Maturation ranges from 15 to 17 months, depending on the vineyard

This wine delivers waves of vibrant fruit, mainly black cherries, along with hints of violets and tea-like herbals. It is medium- to full-bodied, delicately built around silky tannins and vibrant acids, and offers ample complexity on the lingering finish.

Japan

Japanese Whisky

Refined and balanced. Delicate malt, fruit, and subtle spice with a clean, elegant finish.

Chillable, light, and delicious. Schiava is the answer for anyone seeking a calmer, easier Nebbiolo. Perfect with pasta of all kinds.

Lush and luxurious. This small-batch whiskey (made by the renown distiller Willett) offers an initial flavor of prunes and walnuts and finishes with burnt caramel. This is the bourbon you buy your "whiskey friend" who says they've tried everything.

Vermouth/Aperitif

Dry vermouth. Crisp, herbal, and botanical with a clean, bitter finish. Essential for martinis.

Vermouth/Aperitif

Sweet vermouth. Rich herbs, warm spice, and bittersweet botanicals. Classic for Manhattans and Negronis.

A unique addition to your collection.
