We’re kicking off this week’s roundup with a characterful value white from one of Portugal’s winemaking pioneers – Dirk Niepoort's Redoma Branco 2021. From historic Château Thivin in Beaujolais, the Brouilly Reverdon 2021 is medium-bodied, supple and lively, while Syrah lovers will be tempted by Remhoogte’s vibrant Free To Be 2021. Our July Insiders’ Case is an irresistible mix of local and international finds, with free delivery anywhere in South Africa. And for those with deeper pockets, there’s still time to register for the highest value wine auction ever staged in Africa, featuring six collections of the world’s greatest wines.

Niepoort Redoma Branco 2021
R 350 PER BOTTLE
The varieties might be a tongue twister, but Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Viosinho, Donzelinho and Gouveio are the DNA of Niepoort’s Redoma Branco 2021. Showcasing verbena, ripe yellow citrus, and savoury reduction along with a fine bead of minerality, this could easily be mistaken for an entry-level Burgundy. We tasted the 2014 vintage recently and it was still incredibly bright, salty and textured. Drink now or cellar for another decade.

Thivin Brouilly Reverdon 2021
R 440 PER BOTTLE
'The future is Beaujolais,' writes Neal Martin on the home of Gamay Noir. Burgundy’s neighbour is on the rise for its age-worthy and versatile reds, which can be dressed up or down. The Thivin Brouilly Reverdon 2021 overdelivers on complexity, shining at a classy dinner or even next to your favourite burger. It offers a seamless red fruit core, elegant structure, and forest floor notes.

Remhoogte Free To Be Syrah 2021
R 225 PER BOTTLE
The latest Syrah from Remhoogte in Stellenbosch is thirst-quenching and perfectly textured. A whole-bunch, carbonic-style wine, the 2021 Free To Be is delicious, with pure fruit and exotic spice. There’s no wonder it’s so popular! If you enjoy the likes of Boschkloof, Brunia, and Carinus Syrah, you’ll love this.

Wine Cellar Insiders' July 2023
R 1,105 PER CASE – FREE DELIVERY
This month’s pack features a bright and balanced Portuguese white from Anselmo Mendes – ‘impossible to resist’, says the Wine Advocate. The newly released Grenache Rosé 2022 from winemaker Jolandie Fouché is light bodied and pairs beautifully with tapas, while the Luigi Baudana Langhe Bianco Dragon 2021 from Italy is ‘lean and direct’. Niepoort’s Fabelhaft Tinto 2020 and Van Loggerenberg’s Break a Leg Merlot 2022 are perfect winter warmers, and we complete the pack with the Thorne & Daughters Copper Pot Pinot Noir 2022 – ideal with salmon, but complex enough for duck.
