Doisy Daëne, Sauternes 2015
R 500 per bottle
We bring you a famed Sauternes from Château Doisy-Daëne, under the careful guidance of legendary figure Denis Dubourdieu. Neal Martin described this ethereal sweet wine from Bordeaux's 2015 vintage the best: '... leaves you with a smile on your face... and the wine ain’t even finished yet! Just a wonderful wine – full of class and nascent joie-de-vivre. Chapeau Denis!' Enjoy from now to 2050.

Thelema, Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
R 305 per bottle
Thelema's Cabernet Sauvignon remains one of the most notable single-variety releases from Stellenbosch. At just over R 300 per bottle for the 2018, this is a great price for wine with such pedigree. We agree with Greg Sherwood MW that the 2018 'will appeal to the collectors of premium Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon.' Offering great drinking pleasure now, the 2018 can be enjoyed whilst you lay down your 2017 for even longer.
