One of this week’s most notable new listings is the luxurious Cheval des Andes 2018 – the product of a joint venture between Bordeaux legend Cheval Blanc and Mendoza’s Terrazas de los Andes. The newly released Tesselaarsdal Pinot Noir 2022 is an awesome expression of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge, while the Foundry’s 2020 Viognier is a match made in tapas heaven. From the master of Meursault – Dominique Lafon – we can’t get enough of Héritiers du Comte Lafon. His Mâcon Milly-Lamartine 2020 is ‘fine-boned’ and ‘understated’, says the Wine Advocate, and offers terrific value compared to its more illustrious Côte d’Or neighbours. And if you’d like to instantly build an enviable fine wine collection, we can help. Find out more about our curated baskets of local and international vintage wines.

The Foundry Viognier 2020
R 250 PER BOTTLE
If ever there was a perfect food wine, this is it. Brimming with white florals, dried fynbos, citrus and white stone fruit with a chalky texture, this is one of our favourite whites to pair with tapas. It’s super refined and fresh, showing restraint in the best possible way. Enjoy it with fish tacos or roasted duck – you won’t be disappointed.

Cheval des Andes Mendoza 2018
R 1,950 PER BOTTLE
'I think this is the finest Cheval des Andes I've ever tasted,’ writes the Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutiérrez of the 2018 vintage. Birthed from a venture between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas des Andes, the wine is gaining a reputation for its nuanced complexity. It’s an authentic Argentine Malbec (70%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) blend clothed as a modern Bordeaux, and comes in at 98 points! A must for your collection.

Tesselaarsdal Pinot Noir 2022
R 710 PER BOTTLE
Her most impressive vintage to date, the 2022 Pinot Noir from Berene Sauls has scored a well-deserved 95 points from Christian Eedes. Her wines receive high praise every year from all the top critics, who agree that they’re ‘impressive’, ‘elegant’ and – most recently – ‘dead sexy’. This is bound to age beautifully in your cellar. Opened now, you’ll be rewarded with crushed roses, earth, spice, and orange rind leading to violets, bright acidity, and a deliciously dry finish.

Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon Milly-Lamartine 2020
R 485 PER BOTTLE
Projected wine trends for 2023 suggest that unsung regions will continue to be a treasure trove for discerning wine lovers. We’re delighted to bring in gems such as the 2020 Mâcon Milly-Lamartine from Dominique Lafon’s Héritiers du Comte Lafon in Southern Burgundy. An elegant, vibrant Chardonnay, it offers lemony richness and a lively acidity that’s reminiscent of great Burgundy.
