LIVE: The world’s greatest wines go on auction as single bottles Friday, 25 August 2023

‘Mesmerising’ Dom Pérignon, I’m Your Huckleberry, David & Nadia, and more

The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is finally here! We’ve been anticipating this release for years. ‘What a wine,’ enthuses James Suckling, awarding it 99 points. The wines of Lustau, one of Southern Spain’s most famous producers, have also arrived. From only R170 per bottle, you can’t afford to be without these versatile, food-friendly Sherries. Closer to home – about as close as you can get actually – Wine Cellar’s Jolette Steyn has just released the 2020 I’m Your Huckleberry Sémillon from her exciting solo project, The Vineyard Party. This is pure drinking pleasure. We finish off with two must-have reds – López de Heredia’s Viña Cubillo Crianza 2015, which offers astounding value at R325, and the powerful yet poised Grenache 2022 from David & Nadia.

Don’t miss Strauss & Co’s latest online auction, featuring a dazzling selection of rare vintages from Penfolds Grange, Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Château Mouton Rothchild, and Château d’Yquem.

Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008
R 5,700 PER BOTTLE

This rare release is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir (10% still) and 45% Chardonnay. After 12 years in the cellar, the rosé started to ‘reveal the harmony we were looking for a year and a half ago’, explains Vincent Chaperon, DP’s Chef de Cave. ‘Dramatic and perfumed’ says the Wine Advocate, while Vinous calls it Magnificent… there is a classic feeling of austerity in the 2008 that is mesmerizing.’   This is approachable now but will age well for the next 25 years.

Emilio Lustau Sherries
FROM R 170 PER BOTTLE

Hailing from the chalky soils of Jerez, Sherry is made with white grapes, notably Palomino. Most are bone-dry and the ultimate Spanish food wines with their saltiness and fresh acidity. From the lighter styled Manzanilla and Fino; to the nuttier, darker and richer styles of Amontillado and Cortado; as well as the scarce, small-batch Almacenista and V.O.R.S range – we have it all.

The Vineyard Party I'm Your Huckleberry 2020
R 265 PER BOTTLE

Our very own Jolette Steyn, Head of Sales and Imports, has just released her 2020 I’m Your Huckleberry Sémillon. From a vineyard in Constantia (this time not mauled by baboons first), the 2020 is 100% skin-fermented, boasting dusty honeysuckle, macadamia nuts, and fine tannins. This Sémillon is among our favourite examples in the country. Super-limited – blink and you’ll miss it.

López de Heredia Viña Cubillo Crianza 2015
R 325 PER BOTTLE

López de Heredia Viña Cubillo Crianza 2015 remains one of the best value reds in the wine world at only R325. From 410m altitude with an average vine age of 40 years, Tempranillo is blended with Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano to produce a light, ethereal style of red. All their wines are aged for far longer than the appellation dictates. In fact, their Cubillo Crianza is aged for longer than the legally required minimum time for Gran Reserva Rioja.

David & Nadia Grenache Noir 2022
R 415 PER BOTTLE

Does one ever tire of great Grenache? Not us! The David & Nadia Grenache 2022 is incredibly rewarding. It’s tightly coiled with beautiful aromatics – expect orange peel, pomegranate seeds, and a saline, textured finish. A wine of understated power and poise, we love drinking this alongside a slow-roasted pork belly with a yuzu miso jus. Enjoy it over a few hours or pop it in your cellar for a couple of years. You won’t be disappointed.
