Klein Constantia’s Vin de Constance is one of the most legendary wines in the world.🌟

Few wines can rival the history, precision and global recognition of Vin de Constance. Under Matt Day’s guidance, it’s become even finer and more focused. The 2023 is incredibly elegant, offering notes of citrus blossom and a floral hint of acacia wood, leading to a balanced and detailed palate. This vintage will last for decades to come and makes the perfect gift, celebratory drink, anniversary keepsake or birth-year commemoration.

Vin de Constance is often compared to the king of sweet wines, Château d’Yquem. However, its production is fundamentally different, using raisin-like Muscat de Frontignan grapes ripened on the vines – usually with no botrytis.

A wine of guaranteed longevity, Vin de Constance has graced the tables of kings and queens and been immortalised by the likes of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and Nelson Mandela. We've had the privilege of tasting the 1875 (in 2017) and the 1993 (in 2023), and both were incredible!

We have the pleasure of offering you a pre-release of the outstanding 2023 vintage with our very own Brice & Burnett personalisation. Or order the 2023 Collector’s 3-Bottle Pack and each bottle will come sealed with your choice of wax colour and initials. Only available through us, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind treasure.

The 2025 Van Loggerenberg wines are some of the most compelling releases yet. Lukas can’t contain his excitement about this vintage, noting that the ‘clarity and precision on offer are unbelievable’.🌟

He believes that the Paardeberg is the mecca of Chenin Blanc, and his Kameraderie 2025 is from two vineyards planted here in the 1960s. It's all about delicacy – emphasising detail and freshness over weight. The wine is initially slow to unfurl, then opens to lemon and lime, gorgeous white florals and fennel flower. On the palate it’s more inward and focused, with softer citrus, layers of flavour and drive.

His distinctive Graft Syrah 2025 hails from the celebrated Stellenbosch Polkadraai Hills and carries that hallmark olive tapenade, violet and peppercorn complexity that’s seen in many of SA’s greatest Syrahs. The fruit is bright and the tannins pinpoint, and it will only improve with time. If you love Syrah, you should be drinking this.

These are some of the finest white wines we have tasted this year. David and Nadia are not only masters of Chenin but also of their beloved Swartland region, and it’s impossible to overstate the outstanding quality of their 2025s. A step up from any previous release, these wines represent the best of old-vine Chenin and Grenache Noir from 100% dryland bush vines.

The 98-point Aristargos 2025 is brimming with energy and has extraordinary length. A 6-variety, Chenin-led blend from 13 different vineyards, it’s a wine of ‘exceptional refinement’, says Christian Eedes.

For us, the 2025 Chenin is the highlight of the release.🌟 Hailing from 9 different vineyards, 24 pickings, and plantings from 1968 to 1986, this 97-pointer is ‘rich without excess’ and ‘creamy without heaviness’ (Christian Eedes). The 2025 ‘unfolds in layered fashion before a long, persistent finish’, showing both power and precision.

The 95-point 2025 Grenache is unlike anything they’ve produced before, with ‘more gravitas’, agree David and Nadia. Still perfumed, yet darker in colour with intensity and finesse in spades, it's a must for Grenache enthusiasts.

Last year’s Elpidios was so impressive we weren’t sure how it could get better, but it has! The 2024 is ‘very satisfying’, writes Eedes, scoring it 95 points. A Grenache-based blend that’s slow to unfurl but becomes moreish with time in the glass, it’s aged for 18 months in bottle before release and captures the Swartland’s sunny fruit and savoury complexity.

This is a superb set of wines – and the vintage to stock up on.

The MR de Compostella 2023 is a wine of seamless complexity and power. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the world's finest Bordeaux blends and represents the pinnacle of what Stellenbosch can produce.💫

More than a decade ago, Neal Martin awarded both the 2008 and 2009 MR de Compostella 96 points – an almost unheard-of score for a South African red at the time. Given his expertise across Bordeaux, Burgundy and South Africa, it’s no small achievement that the MR Vesperi 2024 ranks among the highest-scoring white wines in his recent SA report. Balanced, persistent and exceptionally fine, it makes a compelling case for South African fine white wine at its very best.

The 2023 De Compostella is a blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec, 17% Petit Verdot and 8% Merlot. In the words of Mzo and Bruwer, it’s the work of two winemaker friends in pursuit of excellence – a blend that is far greater than the sum of its parts. It also has the pedigree to age remarkably well.

The same approach underpins the Vesperi 2024, a blend of 41% Chenin Blanc, 37% Sauvignon Blanc and 22% Sémillon. If you love wines of depth and finesse with flavour in spades, this is for you.

From Chenin Blanc and Grenache favourites to blends and the exciting Sémillon Gris, this tasting showcases its most sought-after names in one sitting.🌟

Expect wines of energy, clarity and real identity.

When you think of the greatest wines coming out of Stellenbosch today, Keet First Verse has to be among them. Few producers devote themselves to a single wine, but this is Chris Keet’s pursuit of perfection. The 2022 offers pure hedonistic enjoyment.💫

With 96 points from Christian Eedes and 95 points from Platter’s, the latest release is a charming, powerful wine with deep fruit and fine tannins. There’s a sense of nostalgia when tasting the 2022, evoking everything we love about Bordeaux-style blends.

Though drinking superbly now, we’ve seen First Verse age beautifully and it always earns a place in the top 10 for Winemag’s 10-year Report. The wine is predominantly Cabernet Franc, combined with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Chris compares the blending of these components to the harmony of an orchestra building to a crescendo.

Laroque has done it again.💫 The 2025 showcases the class of their terroir and confirms Laroque’s standing as one of the finest wines from Saint-Émilion. ‘A gorgeous, super-elegant wine’, writes Antonio Galloni.

We’ve tasted the wine from barrel on a couple of occasions and there’s so much to love. Aromatics of violet, lavender and dark red cherry give way to a palate of wonderful clarity and freshness, delivering a level of quality usually seen in wines three or four times the price.
