Excelsior Heritage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Item Code: 4142821

Description

The quality of wines coming from South Africa has never been better. The FT described them as "gorgeous, often underpriced". This is a fabulous, darkly spiced red - a rich, Reserve Cabernet made from the pick of the grapes. Dense cassis and plum.



Critic Jancis Robinson MW was impressed by "the great strides that have been taken in red wine quality" in South Africa. After a tasting, she wrote, "Most of the reds I encountered were really delicious — with fine examples of Cabernet Sauvignon". This ace red is from the De Wet winery in Robertson. It's a 19th-century family estate with extensive plantings of Cabernet (nearly half their vineyards) and count themselves specialists of this grape.

For the Heritage Reserve, winemaker Johann Stemmet searched out the finest, lowest-yield grapes from the limestone soils of this great region. Ageing nearly half the wine in French and American oak has lent a rich layer of spice to the dense notes of cassis. Open early and get the steak sizzling.

Low Stock The Rustler Chenin Blanc 2022

The Rustler Chenin Blanc 2022

Item Code: 0610922

Description

Chenin Blanc is the Cape’s signature white grape – here displayed in all its pure zingy citrus and ripe, tropical-fruit glory. Crafted by champion winemaker Gerhard Swart at an award-winning cellar, it’s a delightfully fresh, intense-flavoured white.

Although known as 'Pinotage King', multi-award-winning Cape winemaker Gerhard Swart is also extremely adept with the Chenin Blanc grape, achieving extraordinary vibrancy and crisp apple intensity. Gerhard has blazed a trail in his career, winning the coveted General Smuts Trophy in 2010, the youngest ever to do so, while Bruce Jack, who made this wine before him, called Gerhard "the best winemaker he had ever met." The wine is named after the free spirit, a Scot, Angus McLean, who deserted the British army in South Africa at the time of the Boer War and lived off the bounty of the sea, plus the odd stolen sheep, earning his nickname ‘the Rustler’. Chill down this white and enjoy as a refreshing glass solo or with chicken or spicy stir-fry.

Low Stock Spier Villa Blue Albariño Stellenbosch 2023

Spier Villa Blue Albariño Stellenbosch 2023

Item Code: 4313323

Description

It's a Spanish hero and has recently soared to stardom. Villa Blue shows how well it performs in the Cape's Stellenbosch, in the hands of the great Spier cellar.

Albariño used to be a little-known grape of NW Spain. Recently it has shot to stardom, adored for its Sauvignon-like freshness with extra richness. Little was grown outside Galicia - until recently that is. Now, look, even South Africa has taken it to their hearts. This is a fresh, summery white from the great Spier Estate in premium Stellenbosch, winner of 'South African Wine Producer of the Year' in 2011 and 2018, also Editor's Choice 'Winery of the Year 2022' awarded by Platter. They're one of the Cape's oldest wineries, proud of the many community projects they run, under the banner 'Growing for Good', for which they've won a top Ethical award this year. Albariño is a new venture for them and this white is a terrific introduction.

Low Stock Excelsior Heritage Reserve Viognier 2023

Excelsior Heritage Reserve Viognier 2023

Item Code: 4141223

Description

The quality of wines coming from South Africa has never been better. The FT described them as "gorgeous, often underpriced". This is a full-bodied, lusciously spiced Viognier, with a good dash of citrus.



Critic Tim Atkin declared, "For wine lovers, South Africa offers something special," while the Press Association wrote, "South African winemakers are producing an abundance of world-class wines". Excelsior Estate has been doing just that for 150 years, since its foundation in Robertson in 1870. It's still owned today by the De Wet family, with Freddie and his son Peter running the show. Their philosophy is that great wine is made in the vineyard, so they put much work into tending their vines.

Their Heritage Reserve wines use their finest grapes from the lowest yielding vines on the region's premium limestone soils, all to ensure intense flavour. Ripe, but with zesty freshness, this white is great with ginger-spiced pork or noodle soup.

Low Stock Stonecast Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Stonecast Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Item Code: 4139721

Description

An exciting South African Sauvignon with ravishing mineral freshness, plus the riper fruit notes of the Cape. It's from a winemaker, who's been making world-class Sauvignon at top estates for years and now crafts this fabulous crisp, elegant white.

This is an exceptional, new-release Sauvignon from premium vineyards, just a stone's throw (hence stonecast) from a top winery address! We have a good contact there, the talented maverick winemaker Adam Mason, who sourced finest-quality grapes for this superbly elegant, fresh white. One parcel is from the granite-rich soils of beautiful Franschhoek, the other from the high-altitude mountain slopes of Darling. Both parcels bring an incisive mineral crispness to this dazzling white. Harvesting by hand at dawn and cool fermentation have resulted in this fine, gooseberry fresh white, with creamy weight from lees ageing. Presented in its unique square-shaped bottle, it's a smart dinner party white - great with grilled prawns, salmon or risotto.
