Item # 11085 750mL

The De Wet family has been growing grapes and making wine on their family farm in Robertson since 1859. The dry climate here allows for water stress to force the vines to grow smaller, more concentrated fruit. Black fruits, and a touch of oak influence give this dry red a pleasant structure that is very accessible. Pair with a classic braai.

Staff Pick Notes

Here is on the best priced, balanced and delicious wines in the store! I have not always found that to be the case with wines of South Africa. Rich inviting notes of loganberry, black currants greet the senses with little effort. Silky and soft on the palate but with a lifting quality providing a freshness keeping it a lively experience! The De Wet family has history going back to 1697 and had the foresight to plant vines then. The tradition continues with an eye on quality and it is evident in the wine. Cheers!

Wines lately coming out of South Africa - in particular, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California, positioning it at the forefront of the New World wine scene as well. Today, Cabernet Sauvignon has a...
