Our AIP is back! This incredible basket of wines is ready to go. We have added exciting new names that don’t usually make it into our portfolios, while keeping the core focus on intrinsic quality and maturation potential. Considering there are zero management fees and the AIP includes two years of free cellaring, it has to be the most cost effective and attractive fine wine portfolio in South Africa. Combining Young Guns with established properties, there are wines that can be enjoyed in the short term as well as cellared for the long term. The list includes Porseleinberg 2021 (99 TA), Rall Syrah 2023 (97 CE), Lukas Van Loggerenberg’s Graft 2022 (97 NM), and Le Riche Reserve Cabernet 2019 (96 CE).
The table below illustrates the value of this portfolio four years ago compared to what you’d pay to buy the same wines now at maturity (IF you could find all of them on the market).

‘I can assure you, South African wines stand today as the best value in the world for price per quality ratio. As I have been saying for years, buy them now before the prices increase, and I have already seen prices starting to creep up.’ – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
2025 AIP is the simplest and most efficient way for consumers and collectors alike to add to their South African fine wine collections.
