Plus: Argentinean Malbec for R315 per bottle Friday, 11 November 2022

Anysbos Tesame, the perfect food wine, & Pio Cesare comes to SA!

Dear *|FNAME|*,

The excitement is real! We can’t wait to host some thrilling tastings and lunches with Federica Boffa of Pio Cesare this month. Historic Pio Cesare is a Piedmont star, so join us in Cape Town or Johannesburg to experience their Barolos and Barbarescos.

From the foothills of the Andes, the fleshy and polished Terrazas de los Andes Malbec Reserva 2019 is among our top picks this week, along with Le Riche’s impressive Steynsrust 2016. Anysbos Tesame 2020 is layered and understated, and stock up on the succulent and refined Viognier 2020 from The Foundry.

Terrazas de los Andes Malbec Reserva 2019
R 315 PER Bottle

Argentina’s Mendoza is regarded as the Malbec capital of the world, and their dedication to producing quality wine is paying off. ‘Now is the time to buy Argentine Malbec,’ writes Wine Enthusiast. Look no further than Terrazas de los Andes Malbec Reserva 2019. From high-altitude vineyards, the wine shows charming bright red fruit and silky concentration. It’s the ultimate companion to a braai or Sunday roast at only R315 per bottle.

Anysbos Tesame 2020
R 330 PER BOTTLE

It’s always special when you get to taste this wine with Johan, Sue and Marelise – the wonderful people behind Anysbos. We visited the Anysbos farm this week and tasted the Tesame 2020 alongside older vintages. Crushed rose petal, cherry pip and spice lead to plums, roasted fennel bulb and blackberries on the palate. The long finish is delicate and pure, with focused acidity and inward tannins. If you haven’t tried this awesome wine yet, don’t miss out.

The Foundry Viognier 2020
R 250 per Bottle

If you’re looking for that perfect food wine, this is the one. The Foundry Viognier 2020 is fresh, juicy, super refined and delicious. White flowers and dried fynbos aromatics are followed by lemon zest, cut apple and white peach on the palate. The finish is layered with texture and salinity. An incredible example of what Viognier can be in the deft hands of Chris Williams. Moreish – it’s as simple as that.

Le Riche Steynsrust 2016
R850 per bottle

This ‘age-worthy’ Cabernet Sauvignon from Le Riche scored 93 points from Tim Atkin in his recent report, and we’re delighted to have a limited allocation. From a single vineyard in Firgrove, the 2016 Steynsrust shows off the best parts of the vintage: deep fruit concentration with firm tannins and powerful structure. Le Riche has already done the ageing for you, so open it up and savour every sip.

Piedmont’s Pio Cesare: Tastings and Lunch with Federica
From R450 per person – CT and JHB

Piedmont is in its golden age and, for 140 years, Pio Cesare has consistently been one of the region’s – if not Italy’s – greatest names. Federica Boffa, owner of Pio Cesare and daughter of the legendary Pio Boffa, is flying out to South Africa for the first time to come and tell her family’s remarkable story. Federica will take us through five years of their Barolos and Barbarescos, their new single-vineyard Barolos, and one of our favourites, the Cesare Vermouth. For an extra treat, join Wine Cellar and Federica for a Langhe lunch, with a curated menu around their Dolcetto, Barbera, Barbaresco, Barolo and Barolo Chinato.
