Wine Notes
Wine Club Selections
Rall Wines “Méthode Ancestrale” Cinsault
SWARTLAND, SOUTH AFRICA | 2023
One of the most influential and important winemakers in South Africa, Donovan Rall has produced exceptional wine since his first vintage of Rall Wines in 2008.
Catherine Marshall “Sandstone Soils”
ELGIN, SOUTH AFRICA | 2022
These Pinot noir grapes were selected from the ultracool Elgin Valley, between Somerset West and Hermanus.
BLANKbottle “Master of None”
WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA | 2021
The title "Master of None" pays homage to the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none." Walser, known for working with a multitude of grape varietals, humbly claims not to be a master of any one of them.
Catherine Marshall “Sandstone Soils”
ELGIN, SOUTH AFRICA | 2020
These Pinot noir grapes were selected from the ultra-cool Elgin Valley, between Somerset West and Hermanus.
Aslina “Skin Contact”
STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA | 2022
This sustainably farmed unoaked Chenin sees a portion of its juice rest for 8 days on its skins adding to this already highly textured wine while instilling incredible dimension.
Swerver “Red Blend”
SWARTLAND, SOUTH AFRICA | 2019
This cuvée is an unoaked blend of primarily red-fruited grenache and cinsault (consisting of 90% of the blend) with then 10% of tinto barroca that adds a rich black-fruited and smoky depth to its bright herby-strawberry-rhubarb base.
Bosman Family Vineyards “Twyfeling”
WELLINGTON, SOUTH AFRICA | 2019
As pretty as this wine is, it’s also got equally the same amount of power. Like an iron fist in a velvet glove.
Stony Brook Vineyards “Lyle” Blanc de Blancs
FRANSCHOEK, SOUTH AFRICA | 2017
The “Lyle” 2017 is a stunning mix of vinous richness combined with pure energy. After spending 4 years on the lees, the mousse has tamed to the point that it simply lifts the fruits in the glass and accentuates the salty minerality without being too overbearing.
