Port weather is here, and if you missed the chance to grab some of Niepoort’s 2017 Late Bottle Vintage (LBV) Port, we’ve got your back. At R180 for 375mls, you're in for a treat! Le Riche’s 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and inviting, and the seductive Arnot-Roberts Watson Ranch Chardonnay 2019 will give you a taste of Napa Valley’s new-wave wines. For some great new food partners from Tuscany, try Querciabella’s Mongrana Rosso and Bianco. Back home, Glenelly Lady May is among SA’s best Bordeaux reds, and the 2017 is ‘a distinguished, patrician wine where everything is in place’, writes Tim Atkin MW.

Le Riche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
R 895 PER BOTTLE
Le Riche is synonymous with the best Cabernet Sauvignon in Stellenbosch, and their 2018 Reserve is wonderfully complex. The palate is luscious and bold, balanced by a red-fruited crunchiness and freshly tilled earth. The elegant tannins offer loads of support for a decade or more of ageing. 'This is a classical Le Riche Reserve Cabernet at its most seductive,' enthuses Greg Sherwood MW.

Glenelly Lady May 2017
R 795 PER BOTTLE
‘Margaux-esque delicacy and graceful precision ... This is class personified,’ says Greg Sherwood MW. The Glenelly Lady May 2017 is 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The vintage has been awarded a trio of 97 points from Sherwood, Christian Eedes and Tim Atkin MW, and we recently tasted it blind alongside international benchmarks. It comfortably held its own next to wines that are three to five times the price! Limited magnums available.
