Dear *|FNAME|*,
Strauss & Co’s latest virtual auction features a star-studded list of fine vintage wines from Burgundy and Champagne. Single-vineyard Champagnes and the wines of Burgundy are produced in small quantities and command high prices, and mature bottles are seldom traded in our small market. There are only a few days left to secure these incredible vintage wines and super-rare grower Champagnes.
This week’s roundup also includes our local winter favourite, Saurwein Nom Pinot Noir. The stylish De Toren Fusion V 2018 has hit its stride and is drinking beautifully, while lovers of Châteauneuf du Pape are sure to enjoy the 2018 Pie VI from Michel Chapoutier – the undisputed king of France’s Rhône Valley.

This iconic, classic, Left Bank Bordeaux-styled blend from De Toren is in an alluring spot within its drinking window. The 2018 Fusion V shows densely packed red and black fruit coupled with layers of cigar box and spice, finishing with silky tannins. It has all the elements of an ageworthy wine. Collectors and Cab enthusiasts alike, don’t miss out on this one!

Saurwein Nom Pinot Noir 2021
R 480 PER Bottle
From an Elandskloof vineyard (700 metres above sea level) comes this enticing 94-point Pinot Noir, filled with crushed rose petals, black tea, exotic spices, and wild strawberry aromatics. The palate is savoury and tense with mushroom and forest floor notes. A go-to for us at Wine Cellar on these chilly nights.

Marked by the region’s signature rich, dark berry fruit and expressive savoury spice, it generously coats the palate and has a refreshing finish thanks to its fine tannin structure.
