Le Riche 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Le Riche Wines, situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in South Africa, was founded by Etíenne le Riche in 1996.  As a founding member of the Cape Winemakers Guild and following an illustrious career as one of the country's leading winemakers, Etíenne embarkded on an independent path to create a winery where he could embrace the cultivar he had grown to love and respect, Cabernet Sauvignon.  The winery provides a platform to create premium red wines in a classic South African style.

Classic Cabernet aromas of blackcurrants, brambles, dary cherry and hints of violet are supported by a vibrant nose.  A powerful wine showcasing sweet, ripe black fruit balanced by full, structured tannins.  A lingering finish and beautifully rich mouthfeel alongside appetizing acidity reveals great maturation potential and an underlying elegance.

Rall 2020 Méthode Ancestrale Sparking Rosé

From one of South Africa's rising stars to now one of the most influential and important winemakers in the country, Donovan Rall has produced exceptional wine that has been extolled by critics since his launch vintage of Rall Wines in 2008.  Donovan has always produced small quantities by hand from the most unique and oldest sites he could find.  The winemaking is simple, with each parcel allowed to ferment and mature naturally in order to truly reflect the character of each vineyard.  Donovan continues to produce some of South Africa's most sought-after wines.

This sparking Rosé opens with bright effervescence and delicate aromatics of cranberry and pomegranate.  The medium-bodies palate follows through with a profile of crunchy red fruits, floral notes, refreshing acidity, and a layer of white pepper spice that offers racy complexity and versatility.  Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with seafood, poultry, charcuterie and spicy dishes.
