New-wave producer Artuke is setting Rioja ablaze with ‘some of the greatest reds in Spain’, says Tim Atkin MW. Their crunchy and red-fruited Tinto 2022 has just landed, and it’s a terrific introduction to the range at R200. Also offering sensational value, Glenelly’s Glass Collection Cabernet Franc 2015 is a superb wine from one of Stellenbosch’s finest red wine vintages. Anselmo Mendes Parcela Única Alvarinho 2019 is ‘gripping’ and ‘Burgundian in character’ (Wine Advocate), and lovers of Cognac will delight in our newly listed brandies from the Niepoort and Chapoutier stables. Finally, join us in Cape Town or Johannesburg for ‘A dip in the Med’ – an exploration of vibrant coastal whites from Italy, Spain, Portugal and SA.

Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Franc 2015
R 275 PER BOTTLE
Folks, this is not a difficult one. Great Stellenbosch vintage = check; superior terroir and producer = check; tremendous value = check. The 2015 Glenelly Glass Collection Cabernet Franc is pure class, with hallmark pencil shavings and graphite. The palate is what really impresses here, with a depth of fruit and weight that you will not find anywhere at this price! Though delicious now, its structure sets it up for another decade of ageing.

Niepoort and Chapoutier Brandies
FROM R 1,050 PER BOTTLE
Slow-aged brandies were treasured during the early 1900s, and today they’re making a comeback! Grab your share of Chapoutier’s Eaux-de-vie-Marcs. Aged for 15-20 years, these brandies are the ‘world’s great after dinner drink’, proclaims The New York Times. Eau-de-Vie d'Ermitage 2000 is rich and powerfully textured, while the Eau-de-Vie de Côte-Rôtie 1999 is earthy and savoury. Dirk Niepoort’s Aguardente Velhíssima NV is considered one of the best in Portugal. Aged for 50 years, it’s intensely expressive, pure and elegant – a masterpiece to add to your collection.

Aged for 9 months in oak, this white from the ‘King of Portugal’ speaks to the exciting diversity that Alvarinho has to offer.
