Just landed: Langhe Nebbiolos
From R 350 PER BOTTLE
‘One of the early lessons I was taught was simple but powerful,’ shares Antonio Galloni – ‘Buy the least expensive wine from the best producers.’ For superb value, look no further than Langhe Nebbiolo as it’s often made from the same highly regarded parcels as the estates’ famous Barolos and Barbarescos. Our Langhe Nebbiolos are incredible examples of the poise and pedigree these wines can offer.

Henri Giraud MV17 Aÿ Grand Cru Brut NV
R 2,650 PER BOTTLE
Henri Giraud is ‘a modern legend in the making’, says Decanter. Their MV17 is a multi-vintage blend of Pinot Noir (80%) and Chardonnay (20%) based on 2017, but with incredible depth from their reserve wines, dating back to 1990. ‘If you love the wines of Salon, Selosse, Krug, Egly and other mighty Houses, then you will adore the intense fanfare of flavours that accompanies a bottle of Henri Giraud Champagne,’ writes Matthew Jukes.
