Don Quintin Ortega 2021 Rioja Blanco
Pazo De San Mauro 2021 Albarino
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage): Aromas of grapefruit, yuzu and chopped parsley prepare the palate for flavors of lemon-lime, pineapple, white chocolate and almond blossom. This wine is soft in the mouth and offers a long, zesty finish. - Mike DeSimone
Characterized by a high aromatic intensity with an expressive, fresh and very fruity bouquet. It offers clearly defined varietal aromas of green apple and citric scents and presents plenty of minerality and vivacity on the palate, with hints of lemon, grapefruit and apple, a silky sensation and a persistent finish. An especially Atlantic style vintage, very mineral and refreshing.
Baumard Cremant De Loire Rose
80% Cabernet Franc, 20% Chenin Blanc
"Very pale, bright pink with a steady bead. Shy aromas of strawberry, blood orange, rose and spices, plus a hint of honeysuckle. Very fresh and expansive on the palate, offering pure red fruit and sweet citrus flavors and subtle minerality. The precise, spicy finish leaves dusty mineral and strawberry notes behind."' - Steve Tanzer
Sohler Philippe 2020 Gewurztraminer
Coquard 2018 Moulin A Vent
Springfield 2022 Albarino
Only the second Albariño to ever be made in South Africa's Cape. It's crafted sustainably with a 'hands off' approach and only in small quantities. But what little there is tastes fantastic. It's complex and rich, with flavours of apricot, nectarine and that vital saline minerality and bright acidity. Try this with white fish or oysters.
D’Arenberg 2018 Custodian Grenache
This Grenache is full-bodied and lush, with rich fruit flavors dominating the forefront. The dark berry fruits continue to shine, accompanied by layers of complexity. You may notice hints of chocolate, espresso, or licorice, adding depth to the wine's profile. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and texture without overpowering the palate. The wine's acidity lends brightness and balance, contributing to its overall harmony. A true showcase of the richness and depth of McLaren, reflecting the region's warm climate and distinctive terroir. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes such as grilled meats or robust cheeses, The Custodian Grenache is sure to delight those looking for a bold and flavorful experience.
Kristinus 2020 Lunel Muscat Pet-Nat
Ancestral Sargamuskotaly is a beautiful Pet Nat made from 100% Yellow Muscat grapes. Kristinus has conjured up a wonderful refreshment for adults in the bottle. The taste is reminiscent of passion fruit - pineapple spritzer paired with orange peel, wild herbs and a nice lime note.
That beautiful muscatel Pet Nat was crafted using the Ancestral method. The essence of this technique is that the fermenting juice is bottled after a few hours of skin contact, thanks to which we find the fine, natural bubbles in the glass.
Tip from the winery: Open carefully! Cool it well before opening and make sure you have a couple of glasses ready.
