Dear *|FNAME|*,
One of the world’s best Champagnes is back in stock! This week’s international highlights include Krug’s flagship, prestige bottling. We only have a few bottles of their Grande Cuvée 170ème, which has received high praise from both James Suckling and Wine Advocate. Back home, trailblazer Donovan Rall’s Syrah 2021 is a welcome addition to his range – particularly at R265. Tokara Director’s Reserve is consistently excellent, and Alto’s Fine Old Vintage 2008 and 2012 offer smashing value for vintage Port-styled wines. Finally, join us for a celebration of leading women winemakers this Women’s Month at PICHULIK in Cape Town, or sign up for the popular WSET Level 2 course to learn more about the world of international wine.

Krug Grande Cuvée 170eme Edition NV
R 3,350 per bottle
Built around the 2014 vintage, and complemented by reserve wines dating back to 1998, the Krug Grande Cuvée 170ème is the newest edition to hit South African shores. Dating back to 1843, this Grande Cuvée edition spent seven years in bottle before release and is made up of 195 separate wines from 12 vintages. It will easily keep in your cellar for another two decades. ‘It’s medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fine-boned, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a precise, chiseled profile.’ – Wine Advocate

Rall Syrah 2021
R 265 per bottle
This impressive new addition to the Rall portfolio is a lovely representation of Swartland Syrah on schist. With the vision that this vineyard will one day bear fruit for the AVA Syrah, it’s no wonder Christian Eedes is already deeming this wine ‘great quality’. It’s bright with concentrated fruit and sumptuous tannins. The finish is ‘intensely dry’ and, at R265, it’s a no-brainer for your braai nights.

Alto Fine Old Vintage 2008 and 2012
From R 210 per bottle
Alto, whilst known as a classic red wine producer since the early 1920s, has on occasion produced Port-styled fortified wine. We have a couple of these rare wines on offer – the 2008 and the 2012. The 2008 shows beautiful development and is classic in the best sense. 2012 is more fruit forward, but both have a pure palate and will age well for years to come. Bottled as 500mL, these are ideal as a dessert wine, or for cold wintry evenings.
