Harry Hartman Wine Co., Mosi Red Blend 2019
R 550 per bottle
A special collaboration with respected sommelier, Joseph Dhafana. The 2019 Mosi, a Bordeaux-style blend, is a wine of elegance and structure with brooding dark fruit, complemented by a lift of fresh fynbos and dried rosemary. The texture is round and complex with a zesty acidity and firm tannins. Drinking well now but can do with some time in the cellar for the tannins to integrate and the tertiary characters to become accentuated.

Quinta Vale D. Maria, Douro Tinto 2014
R 595 per bottle
The alluring, flagship Douro Tinto 2014 is an exciting field blend from Quinta Vale D. Maria – bursting with concentrated dark cherry, blackcurrants and savoury complexity. The firm structure and supple tannins coat the intense fruit making for a perfect winter wine. Acclaimed for their Ports, the Douro valley are producing phenomenal dry wines too. This 2014 has entered its drinking window, is showing beautifully and should last another decade.
