Dear *|FNAME|*,
From terroir purist Jurgen Gouws, we’re filling our boots with the Intellego Kedungu 2021 – hard to beat at R150 per bottle. Another local favourite this week is the refined and limited Om Pinot Noir 2021 from Jessica Saurwein. Moving to Portugal, we have a skin-contact Alvarinho from the King of Vinho Verde, while Murdoch Hills’ Artisan Rocket Chardonnay 2018 – one of the best in Australia – is a sublime expression of Adelaide Hills terroir.

Murdoch Hill Artisan Rocket Chardonnay 2018
R 940 PER Bottle
Houston, we have lift off! The Murdoch Hill’s Artisan Rocket Chardonnay 2018 is worthy of its 97-point score from James Suckling. Hailed as ‘a very complex and convincing Chardonnay’, this ‘superb’ Aussie is praised for its precision and concentration, matched by incredible purity of fruit. The Rocket Chardonnay is extremely limited and captures the essence of the Downer family’s farm in Adelaide Hills, where they’ve lived for four generations.

Intellego Kedungu 2021
R 150 PER BOTTLE
The Intellego Kedungu 2021 is a Swartland blend of Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault and Pinotage. Bright red and black fruit coupled with spice, fresh acidity and detail make this wine incredibly attractive and a pleasure to drink. With winemaking experiences at Matassa, Stephane Ogier, and Sadie Family Wines, Jurgen Gouws has added value and expertise to the natural wine movement with his Intellego range. His wines are a ‘celebration of the hard work done in the vineyards’ and worth seeking out.

Anselmo Mendes Alvarinho Contacto 2020
R 255 per Bottle
Coming in at #31 on Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 list (2021), the Anselmo Mendes Alvarinho Contacto 2020 is an absolute showstopper. Macerated on the skins for 12 hours, its texture and bright, concentrated yellow citrus fruit complement the bracing acidity. An exciting expression of Alvarinho from the Godfather of Vinho Verde.

Saurwein Om Pinot Noir 2021
R 480 PER bottle
Our favourite of the two Pinot Noirs from Jessica Saurwein, with incredibly ‘alluring aromatics’ and great detail, the Om Pinot Noir 2021 from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge is ‘elegant and refined’. A real ‘Chambolle-Musigny style’, writes Tim Atkin, who regards Jessica as ‘a Pinot noir producer to watch’. The wine is filled with layers of wild strawberry, fresh red cherry, fynbos, and grippy tannins – a must-have for your home and cellar. We’re delighted to have a small allocation left, but grab a case before it’s gone.
