Keermont Pondokrug Cabernet Franc 2017

R595.00 inc. VAT

“Pondokrug sits on the cooler side of the valley and is located on water-retaining clay soils, this is a site that’s “hammered by the wind and the baboons”, according to Alex Starey. Fermented with 10% whole bunches, this is textured, floral and refined, with lovely oregano and dill aromas, granular tannins and racy black fruit.” – Tim Atkin MW

Domaine Philippe Alliet Chinon Tradition 2022

R395.00 inc. VAT
"The young 2022 Chinon is reductive and needs some breathing time—ideally, time in bottle. It's rather raw and uptight due to its youth. It reminds me of someone scrunching up their eyes and hunching their shoulders, as if waiting for something bad to happen. But underneath all that tension of youth, there is creamy, juicy red fruit and spice, and evidently less crunchiness than in 2021. While it needs time, its level of concentration and modest tannins suggest this is one that would be best consumed before the decade is out." - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Domaine Philippe Alliet Chinon Coteau de Noiré 2021

R750.00 inc. VAT
"This site is known to produce relatively dense, powerful wines in ripe vintages, yet the 2021 Chinon Coteau de Noiré stands out as exceptional. It unfolds in the glass with aromas of lead pencil, licorice, dark wild berries and cassis. Full-bodied, dense and chunky, it’s seamless and velvety with a layered core of fruit framed by powdery, generous tannins that segues into a long, mineral finish framed by perfectly controlled power. I appreciate wines like this that purely express the terroirs and are capable of long aging. Keep it over the next decade." - Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate

Domaine des Closiers Saumur-Champigny Les Coudraies 2020

R575.00 inc. VAT
"Vinified in stainless steel tanks and then aged in barrels, the 2020 Saumur Champigny Les Coudraies comes from the low-yielding limestone slopes of Parnay that were cropped at 40 hectoliters per hectare that year. The Coudraies offers a deep and concentrated, spicy and fruity bouquet of dark fruits such as sour cherries and blackcurrant along with mint and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, round and intense on the palate, this is a substantial, dense and generous but structured Cabernet with very intense and juicy fruit, good mineral freshness, spicy tannins and a long and intense, very promising finish that is still a little astringent. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork." Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

Domaine du Bel Air Bourgueil “Jour de Soif” 2021

R325.00 inc. VAT
"This wine reveals a less pronounced purple color than the aging wines. Scents of red fruits accompanied by floral notes. The mouth is light on the fruit and without tannin, the finish has a salty side that invites you to refill." - Winemaker's notes
