"Yet again, the maverick old vine innovator Ian Naude has struck a rich seam of vinous gold with his mouth-watering Langpad Colomard." Greg Sherwood

"A lot of expectations are built around tasting this maiden release of Gaja’s Etna Rosso, the first from Angelo and Gaia Gaja’s new project on the island of Sicily.

Brunello is a red wine of great power and elegance, the ultimate expression of Sangiovese.

Weather vagaries and Meerlust’s exacting quality requirements determine that not every vintage is worthy of our flagship red blend Rubicon. Thus is born, in rare years, our collector’s Meerlust Red 2019. The Red 2019 is a blend of  Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged in French oak for 17 months.

95/100, Greg Sherwood MW, A Fine Wine Safari. "Meerlust Rubicon is undoubtedly one of South Africa’s greatest wine ambassadors. If you have not tasted it yet, you are indeed missing out on one of the great Bordeaux blends produced in the Cape."

This wine comes from the most prized plot of the San Polo estate: the two-hectare vineyard Vignavecchia. It is produced from 30 to 40-year-old vines located on a steep, western-facing slope. The soil is poor with a calcareous and limestone composition, adding to the intensity and complexity of this wine with potential for lengthy ageing.

In the vineyard:  Lodolaio comes from pure Sangiovese grapes obtained from the reproduction through mass selection of vines of very ancient origin, in a soil composed mainly of marl and alberese.  The year 2016 was characterized by constant heat, without excessive peaks, which helped the ripening of the grapes.

2020 Antinori Tignanello Release Parcel includes x6 Tignanello 2020, x6 Vino Nobile 2019 and x3 Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva 2020

With more than 320 years of history, The Vin de Constance is without a doubt THE greatest sweet wine of the South hemisphere. A unique style, based on freshness and delicious aromas. A MUST HAVE in one's cellar.

One Point Five celebrates lasting bonds, taking its name from the term “a generation and a half,” once coined by John and Doug Shafer to describe their long, accomplished father-and-son partnership.

Shafer’s single-vineyard Carneros-grown Chardonnay is produced from small-clustered clones of grapes selected for their low yields and distinctive flavors. Fermentation takes place within individual oak and stainless steel barrels using native yeasts.

Jancis Robinson 17 points: Mid to deep ruby. Dark, brooding and sweet with the merest suggestion of gingerbread. Ripe cherry fruit and lots of juice on the finish. Very long and supple and with delicious, chewy tannins. (WS)

Simply stunning, evocative deep purple, with black fruited aromas, a hint of tar and the classic lift of white pepper.

93 points – Wine Enthusiast – Nov 2020: A superb expression of Californian Grenache, with aromas of violets, tobacco, raspberries and wet stone.
