In this week's roundup, we couldn't be more excited to feature one of our own. Made from biodiverse, sustainably farmed vineyards, The Vineyard Party's Sémillon duo (made by Jolette Steyn) will change your perception of the variety. Our go-to Champagne is back in stock and we have the indulgent, 98-point Vin de Constance which, as Greg Sherwood MW says, 'is without a doubt THE greatest sweet wine of the Southern hemisphere.' If you're quick enough, you might be able to snatch the last few bottles of the Thorne & Daughters Cat's Cradle – 'wines that serious enthusiasts should make every effort to seek out,' writes Christian Eedes.

The re-creation of the legendary Constantia wine made in the 18th and 19th centuries, sought-after by Napoleon, the aristocracy of Europe, Kings and more.
