Dear *|FNAME|*,
This week on the local front, we're excited to have the small-batch Bosberaad new release from Paulus Wine Co. and Tesselaarsdal's 'next level' Chardonnay available online. As for the imports, we're shining the spotlight on Pio Cesare's traditional and super-classic 2017 Barbaresco as well as the last few bottles of Bollinger's 2012 La Grande Année Rosé. Also, the fine wine NFT auction is drawing to a close on Monday evening. With only 4 days remaining, visit the Strauss & Co website to find out more.

Tesselaarsdal, Chardonnay 2021
R 300 per bottle
'This wine is a masterclass in elegance and restraint,' enthuses Greg Sherwood MW, scoring it 94 points. After tasting this impressive 2021 on release, it instantly became one of our favourites! 'This is undoubtedly next level quality and intensity for the Tesselaarsdal Chardonnay,' writes Greg Sherwood. Old-world in style, it is mineral-driven with vibrant acidity and sumptuous fruit weight.

Pio Cesare, Barbaresco 2017
R 995 per bottle
From Pio Cesare, one of Piedmont's greatest names, comes their powerful yet elegant 2017 Barbaresco. 'Bright red-toned fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, rose petal and mint are all laced into the super-classic Nebbiolo finish,' writes Antonio Galloni. He praises the more classic approach of Cesare with their 2017 Barolo and Barbarescos, saying: '[their] 2017s have a degree of finesse that I have never seen before.' Try it now or keep for another decade!

Once again, Paul and Pauline have created a wonderful expression of Swartland Chenin Blanc. The 2021 Bosberaad is a small-batch release and extremely limited. Produced from vines planted in 1980 (on granite soils), it has a cult-like following and should not be missed!

Bollinger, La Grande Année Rosé 2012
R 3,300 per bottle
From the highly-regarded 2012 vintage – called 'the best harvest of my life' by Bollinger Chef du Cave, Gilles Descôtes – we have the last few bottles of the 2012 La Grande Année Rosé. For Bollinger, 2012 was one of the ultimate statements of Pinot Noir. 'The resulting power is subtle, gastronomic and bewitching, a triumph,' writes Decanter. Drink now or cellar for a decade or two, this Pinot Noir (67%) and Chardonnay (33%) blend is a no-brainer for Champagne lovers.
