Small volumes. Distinctive expressions of Montagu.

Montagu Winery may be one of the larger cellars in the Klein Karoo, but the wines that carry our own name are made on a deliberately boutique scale.

Lady Mary Montagu Chenin Blanc Brut

An elegant, finely balanced sparkling Chenin Blanc with vibrant aromas of tropical fruit and fresh citrus. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with lively fruit flavours carried by a delicate, persistent mousse. Bright acidity lends definition and freshness, while the fine bubbles enhance the wine’s graceful texture. Clean and poised through the finish, with lingering notes of tropical fruit and citrus.

Lady Mary Montagu Sauvignon Blanc

Sourced from the cool Keisie and Rietvlei valleys of Montagu, this Sauvignon Blanc benefits from long, cool nights and the protection of a generous “ballet-rok” canopy, helping to preserve its natural freshness and aromatic intensity. The nose is bright and expressive, with notes of freshly cut grass, lemongrass, lime and crisp green apple. A vibrant core of tropical fruit follows on the palate, balanced by refreshing acidity and a clean mineral edge. The finish is crisp, persistent and beautifully refreshing.

Lady Mary Montagu Pink Moscato Perlé

A playful, delicately sparkling rosé made for easy enjoyment and celebration. White Muscadel is blended with a touch of Red Muscadel to create an inviting salmon-pink hue, while paying tribute to Montagu’s long-standing heritage with Muscat varieties. Enchanting aromas of rose petals and honeysuckle lead to a luscious, fruit-driven palate of ripe strawberries, peach blossom and delicate Turkish delight. A soft sparkle brings freshness and lift, carrying the fragrant fruit and floral notes through to a lively, refreshing finish.

Lady Mary Montagu Merlot

A complex yet elegantly styled Merlot that balances generous fruit expression with a refined structural backbone. Sourced from a mature 12-year-old vineyard, the wine shows excellent depth and concentration, with ripe dark fruit supported by supple tannins and a well-defined structure. The palate is poised and harmonious, allowing the varietal character to shine through before culminating in a smooth, lingering finish. A classic expression of Merlot with a polished, modern edge.

Mont Massif Cabernet Sauvignon

True to its terroir, the Mont Massif Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the rugged character of its distinctive single-vineyard site. Planted in 2017, careful canopy and irrigation management helps optimise berry size and concentration, resulting in excellent fruit intensity and complexity. The nose reveals bright red fruit with subtle notes of vanilla, followed by a generous palate of ripe red berries and cherries. Fine structure and gentle oak-derived nuttiness add depth and sophistication, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
