This week's mailer has something to suit everyone's taste. Treat yourself to our new Insiders' case which offers excellent value at R1,000 (including free delivery nationwide) and highlights two of James's 2022 forecasted trends – rosé and Palomino. Try the artisanal, low-intervention wines from Maanschijn, they keep getting better each vintage, or the harmonious Prélude from one of Champagne's most well-known Grandes Marques. The juicy summer red, Satellites, from VineVenom is delicious, plus we have a Chenin from the revered Loire producer – Thierry Germain. Lastly, we're offering an exclusive Sauvignon Blanc vertical from Kleine Zalze which would be an incredible insight into the evolution of Sauvignon Blanc's ageing potential.

Wine Cellar Insiders, February Value Mixed 6-Case
R 1,000 per case
Our February case includes two rosés prefect for picnics or sundowners: the Provence-style Elmie Rosé and Babylonstoren's 100% Mourvèdre Rosé. Palomino is set to be on trend this year so we've added one of our favourites from VINO pH. If the previous 97-point vintage is anything to go by, we know you'll love the Cape of Good Hope Laing Sémillon. Lastly, the two reds include the juicy Lomond Merlot and Spider Pig's classy The Pigs Back Pinot Noir.

Maanschijn, Herbarium Cape White & Cape Red 2021
R 230 per bottle
One of the many highlights from our recent trip to Stanford was a visit to the winemakers of Maanschijn where we tasted their new vintages. The 2021 Herbarium Cape White and Cape Red are on an upward trajectory. They're more focused than the 2020s and really impressive. We're excited to see what the guys at Maanschijn continue to produce in the future.
