Controversial hot-take: Underrated and under-priced. | Kranskop Cabernet Sauvignon (2014, wine of origin Robertson). This wine retails at R85, a crying shame. Matured in French oak, exhibiting vanilla, berries, dark fruit and bursting with flavour - this Cabernet is rich and regal. Sadly, when exported, the price won't be reflective of this quality and character. A crying shame. | #langebergvalley #tasteletssee #tastethelifestyle #robertsonwinevalley #robertson #wineontheriver #wineontheriversa #tasteletstravel #southafrica #visitwinelands #VisitSAWinelands #cabernetsauvignon #kranskop #kranskopcabernet (at Goudmyn River Chalets)

"Another cousin of mine."-Johann de Wet introducing Rietvallei Natural Unwooded Chardonnay (2017, wine of origin Robertson). | I loved the classic, butteriness of this Chardonnay. The lees contact (Sur Lees) gives a richness that adds to the provocative citrus notes. Easy like a Sunday afternoon. | #langebergvalley #tasteletssee #tastethelifestyle #robertsonwinevalley #robertson #wineontheriver #wineontheriversa #tasteletstravel #southafrica #visitwinelands #VisitSAWinelands #tutoredtasting #chardonnay #rietvallei #surlees #leescontact #unwoodedchardonnay #rietvalleichardonnay (at Goudmyn River Chalets)

The most romantic MCC I've ever met in my entire life. | Philip Jonker The Ring Blanc de Blancs MCC (2010, wine of origin Robertson, 100% Chardonnay) | Philip Jonker: "This Cap Classique celebrates a seal and completion. A promise of lifelong allegiance.The maiden vintage was released on Philip Jonker’s wedding day. "I met Lindelize while studying to become a winemaker. My debut wine was a Cap Classique of which I popped the first cork at my wedding with my barefoot bride under an old oak tree in the Karoo. The Ring is a constant reminder of this bond of love."".
