Glenelly Lady May is the pinnacle of Stellenbosch Glenelly Lady May is the pinnacle of Stellenbosch Bordeaux-style blends. Their best-rated release yet, the 2021 is a wine of grace, finesse and persistent power, combining ‘succulence with structure at the highest level’ (Christian Eedes).‘The wine is monumental in scale yet defined by clarity rather than weight,’ says Eedes. The 2021 is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It offers cassis, plums, pressed violets and pencil shavings supported by firm, cascading tannins – promising phenomenal ageing.🌟Glenelly was acquired in 2003 by Madame May de Lencquesaing of Bordeaux’s Château Pichon Lalande. Her vision was to transform the property into one of the finest in Stellenbosch, and Glenelly has certainly repaid this faith.If you’re in Cape Town, join us tonight at Tannin wine bar in Bree Street for a Glenelly Lady May Vertical with cellarmaster Dirk van Zyl.

Is there a more delicious wine right now than Quer Is there a more delicious wine right now than Querciabella’s newly arrived Chianti Classico Riserva from the glorious 2021 vintage? From an estate ensconced in the Tuscan countryside, this 100% Sangiovese offers luscious black cherry notes, thyme, lavender, spice and a long life ahead.We opened a bottle on Monday with the team to see how different palates would experience this Riserva, and the feedback couldn’t have been better. Some loved its focus and detail, others its vivacious, sexy nature and unfurling aromatics, and a couple even called it their wine of the year so far!💫 All of us were enchanted by its purity, precision and balance. Expect a deep fruit core and lightning rod freshness, with pebbly, graphite tannins and a haunting, velvety finale.Click the link in our bio to read more.#tuscany #italianwine #sangiovese

Have you ever had a wine that stops you dead in yo Have you ever had a wine that stops you dead in your tracks? This has been our experience of the Leeuwenkuil Heritage Syrah 2022.Not only has it received a near-perfect score from Platter’s (99 points), it also recently scored 97 points (blind!) in the Winemag Prescient Report – an enormous achievement. In both instances, it was first in its category.🌟The 2022 is extraordinary. ‘Straight out of Côte-Rôtie’ (Platter’s Guide), it offers crushed roses, violets and deep black pepper framed by baking spices, smoky tobacco and distinct olive tapenade. We’ve been waiting over a year to release this wine. With such limited production and excellent quality, the Heritage Syrah could easily fetch twice its price.Click the link in our bio to read more.#syrah #PlattersGuide #redwine
After 300 years of excellence, Klein Constantia’s After 300 years of excellence, Klein Constantia’s Vin de Constance is still setting the standard.

This is your opportunity to own one of the rarest collections of vintages – 2014, 2017, 2021 – sealed with your choice of wax, finished with your initials, and presented in a three-bottle wooden case. Limited cases available.Vin de Constance is one of the world’s greatest and most sought-after wines. Few can rival its history, precision and global demand. Under Matt Day’s guidance, the wine has become even finer and more precise. Gone is any sense of cloying, syrupy fruit or oakiness – only light-footed balance.Vin de Constance has graced the tables of kings and queens and has been immortalised by the likes of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Alexander Dumas.🌟The 2014, 2017 and 2021 vintages are combinations of multiple pickings (up to 27 batches in 2021) offering terrific complexity, elegance, haunting aromatics, and a detailed palate. This iconic natural sweet wine has guaranteed longevity – for at least the next few decades.Click the link in our bio to learn more.#collectibles #vindeconstance #rarewines
One of the most sought-after Syrahs on the planet One of the most sought-after Syrahs on the planet is back in our cellars. This comes from none other than the king of Crozes and Northern Rhône giant, Domaine Alain Graillot.✨Graillot’s Syrahs have inspired countless winemakers, including our local heroes from the Swartland. The 2023 Crozes-Hermitage is superb and comes out swinging. Violets, black cherries, clove spice, white pepper and garrigue immediately transport you (think France’s answer to fynbos, with a mix of rosemary, lavender, thyme and sage). Medium-bodied and elegant with refined tannins and a ‘long, succulent and vivid finish’ (James Suckling), this is the Syrah to buy right now.2023 was a promising year for Crozes-Hermitage. It was ‘more successful than the 2021s, more consistent than the 2022s’ (Decanter) and a standout year for Alain Graillot. ‘If I could repeat 2023 for the rest of my life, I’d be very happy – both in terms of quantity and quality,’ says Maxime Graillot, the second generation at the helm of the estate.Click the link in our bio to read more.#frenchwine #syrah #redwine

De Toren has been at the forefront of luxury over De Toren has been at the forefront of luxury over the last two decades. They have been in pursuit of perfection from the very beginning, and with the 2021 Fusion V, they come remarkably close.✨This is the Fusion V at its most refined, a reminder of why this wine became a benchmark in the first place. 2021 is one of the Cape’s greatest vintages, and this release is perfectly dialled in. Tim Atkin agrees, awarding it 96 points and calling it ‘one of the best ever releases of Fusion V’.Since 2019, there’s been a clear shift in style. Picking is earlier, the wines are fresher, with a move towards detail over power. Led by Cabernet Sauvignon and supported by 17% Merlot, 13% Malbec, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2021 feels luxurious yet built for the long haul.We suggest enjoying it now, or cellaring for a decade to see its full potential.
