For Daniel ‘Sixpence’ Smiles — Six Bottles, Three Styles, One Slanghoek Farm Story
Daniel ‘Sixpence’ Smiles spent two decades as a shepherd on Opstal’s land — walking the valley, knowing its rhythms and seasons, and tending the flocks on the pastures that would one day become vineyards. The Sixpence range was created in his honour, and the wines are everything the name suggests: fun, approachable, easy-drinking and built to be enjoyed without ceremony. The Sixpence Collection brings all three wines together in one box — 2 bottles each of the Cabernet Sauvignon, the White Blend and the Cinsault Rosé. A complete red-white-rosé set for any gathering.
Inside the Case
- 2x Opstal Sixpence Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 — 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.97% alc. Red berries, plum, a whisper of coffee and dark chocolate. Soft tannins and a smooth, easy finish.
- 2x Opstal Sixpence White Blend 2024 — 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon. Citrus, white flowers and tropical fruit. Vibrant acidity with a smooth, rounded finish. Bronze Medal — SA Wine Awards.
- 2x Opstal Sixpence Rosé 2024 — Cinsault. Cherry and strawberry with clean freshness. Light, refreshing and perfect as an aperitif.
The contents of the Sixpence Collection may vary from time to time as new vintages are released.
Why You’ll Love It
All three Sixpence wines are made by Attie Louw from grapes grown on the former pasture land of Daniel ‘Sixpence’ Smiles — now established vineyard blocks on Opstal’s western slopes. The winemaking philosophy across the range is consistent: stainless steel fermentation at cool temperatures, no unnecessary oak, no over-extraction, early bottling to preserve freshness and fruit character. Between six bottles, you have a wine for every occasion on the calendar — and a farm story worth telling.
Perfect Pairings
The Cab for a braai or a Saturday night bolognaise. The White Blend with grilled chicken, seafood or a light summer salad. The Cinsault Rosé as an aperitif, with mezze or alongside a Cape seafood platter. Six bottles, three styles, every occasion covered.
Our Guarantee
Every Sixpence Collection is backed by our 100% Happiness Assured! Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right — no questions, no fuss. Just good wine from good people.
