Álvaro Palacios Priorat “L’Ermita” 2015 

“Tasting L’Ermita is always an emotional moment, as it’s one of the great reds from Spain. The 2015 L’Ermita is 91% Garnacha, 8% Cariñena and 1% split between Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo and PX from the most famous single vineyard in Priorat. It fermented in oak foudre with indigenous yeasts and also had its élevage in foudre, which lasted for 15 months. The juicy freshness of this 2015, citric and vibrant, makes it very different from the rest of the portfolio. This is transparent, precise, like laser cut, chiseled, subtle and elegant, showing very open and expressive, with great freshness and the core of Mediterranean flavors. 2,200 bottles were filled in February 2017.

2015 was a high-yielding vintage in Spain in general and in Priorat in particular. The wines here have little color and feel very ethereal. 2016 is clearly more concentrated, and at the same time, the wines show vibrant acidity and more freshness.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Domaine Juliette Avril Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

R515.00 inc. VAT
The strongest effort I can recall from this producer, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape—a blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, matured in concrete tank and wooden foudre—offers up scents of cherries, earth and leather. It's full-bodied, tannic and velvety, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Let's hope quality is on the rise here." - Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2017

R430.00 inc. VAT
"The red 2017 Reserva, which is sold as Crianza in Spain, is their most popular wine, representing half of the total production of the firm. As is the norm here, it fermented in oak vats and matured in barrels, in this case for 24 months, crafted by their own coopers. The wine is fined with egg whites and kept in bottle for a further 12 months before it's released. I had the wine in the glass for a very long time, and it didn't stop improving; it started a little lactic and creamy, and then it got more and more serious. This is the only red they produced this vintage, so all the best grapes that normally go to other wines were used here; those selected grapes helped to keep the volume of this cuvée, and at the same time, it seems to have boosted the quality of this wine, which feels every bit as good as the 2016. It has a serious palate with fine, chalky tannins and very good balance. This is a textbook Muga red and a triumph over the conditions of the year, elegant and balanced, approachable now and with potential to age. In 2017, they produced 936,000 bottles of this wine." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

Domaine du Vieux Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2018

R1,100.00 inc. VAT
"Bright ruby. Spice-accented cherry, raspberry and succulent flowers on the perfumed nose. Broad and seamless on the palate, offering gently sweet red fruit, succulent herb and licorice flavors and a touch of candied violet. Delicate tannins add shape to the persistent finish, which echoes the red fruit and floral notes." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Keermont Amphitheatre 2015

R580.00 inc. VAT
"Bright crimson red in the glass, although more opaque than dark. This wine opens with dusty, ripe strawberry aromas complimented by hints of baked pudding, vanilla, and sweet citrus blossom. The palate is tight and effortless. There is a firm chalky tannin structure and an array of flavours from ripe plum and berries to more savoury herbs and oak tannin. The finish is long and succulent with lingering cherry flavours and grippy tannins." - Winemaker's notes
