Description

The estates founder Albertus Viljoen ‘Oupa Alvi’ notoriously scored the Springboks first try against the All Blacks on African soil. Today, his grandson Alvi van der Merwe is the winemaker and long side the vineyards, cultivated the land for fruit orchards and livestock herds, both dairy and free-roaming game. The family is committed to sustainability, giving back to the land, but also going beyond farming practices, helping local communities wherever possible, as this is fundamental to their values.

Tasting Notes

Made from hand-harvested Shiraz grapes in the ideal mediterranean microclimate of the Breed river, this wine has an intense aroma of rich dark fruit, plums, bramble and mulberry. On the palate the fruit continues with notes of savoury spices, pepper and vanilla after seeing 3 months of oak. The fresh acidity and well integrated tannins give good structure on the finish.

Food

This wine pairs well with pasta dishes or mushroom risotto. Also with a wide range of red meats on the grill.

13.5% ABV

Blanquette De Limoux Ma Maison Brut N.V.

'A fabulous fizz for the fridge door!'

£16.99

Domaine Rosier was established in 1982 by Michel and Renza Rosier. Moving from their native Champagne to the Languedoc in order to set up their Domaine, they completely restructured the vineyard which had been planted entirely with Aramon vines. They replanted with Mauzac, Chardonnay, Chenin and Pinot Noir; the classic varieties of the region. Now son Nicolas has joined his father in the viticulture/winemaking side of the business. The wine is made using the Method Traditionelle which requires a secondary fermentation within the closed bottle to create a fine natural mousse. It also generates the rich yeasty lees flavours enjoyed in the best sparkling wines.
