Dear *|FNAME|*,
This week we’re stocking up on one of our favourite new discoveries – the mouthwatering and moreish Olifants Muscat from Daniel Colombo. Restless River’s heady Main Road & Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is produced from two single vineyards in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, the heart of Pinot country. Greg Sherwood has just awarded this 'exceptional' Cabernet 95 points, noting that it 'continues to confound the sceptics'. From Germany’s Schieferkopf comes a mineral-driven introduction to Riesling, and we have limited stock of the much-lauded Dom Pérignon 2012. Fastest fingers first!

Dom Pérignon 2012
R 3,600 PER BOTTLE
2012 is among the greatest vintages in Champagne, and with vintage Champagne becoming scarcer and scarcer, don’t miss out on the last few bottles of Dom Pérignon 2012. This is a powerful, elegant wine. Currently smoky and flinty, it’s tightly wound but packed with fruit. Both Vinous and Wine Advocate believe it will last until about 2050!

Daniel Colombo Wines Olifants Muscat 2021
R 235 PER BOTTLE
Daniel Colombo is an exciting new producer to watch. From working as a bartender at Leo’s Wine Bar in the CBD to stints with Crystallum and Matassa, to finally creating his own wines in 2021, we’ve been waiting patiently to offer you our favourite wine of the range – the Olifants Muscat d’Alexandrie 2021. It’s an absolute joy to drink and will transport you to summer days with its notes of Bellini pulp, sun-kissed stone fruit and a grippy, pithy, saline palate. Bone-dry and thirst-quenching, you’ll immediately call for more.

Restless River Main Road & Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
R 620 per bottle
Just released in the UK, Greg Sherwood recently tasted the Restless River Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 from rockstar couple Craig and Anne Wessels. He scored the wine 95 points, adding that it has 'plenty of exoticism and ripeness while never losing a certain feeling of classicism and elegance'. Extremely limited, this awesome wine could be the most thrilling Cabernet outside Stellenbosch. It’s set to age beautifully over the next decade.

Schieferkopf is another successful Chapoutier project beyond the Rhône Valley, and this Riesling is pure and mineral with a super long finish. Terrific value at R215.
