NEDERBURG RIESLING
R77,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Nederburg Riesling is special because it combines Nederburg’s storied winemaking heritage with a refined expression of South African terroir. The winemaking team preserves purity of fruit while crafting a wine that is both elegant and accessible. Its off-dry, citrus-tinged style offers a versatile drinking experience — now as a refreshing summer sipper, or lightly cellared to gain depth and nuance.REVIEWS/AWARDS

OAK VALLEY STONE & STEEL RIESLING
R119,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
What makes Oak Valley Stone & Steel Riesling truly special is its cool Elgin terroir, which gives the wine a lively, mineral-driven backbone and crisp acidity. Paired with a modest sweetness, it strikes a beautiful tension that delivers both drinkability and sophistication. The name itself pays homage to the estate’s heritage — quarry stone and steel railway — adding a narrative depth that resonates with collectors who appreciate history and character, not just flavour.REVIEWS/AWARDS

PAUL CLUVER RIESLING
R144,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

THEUNISKRAAL CAPE RIESLING
R90,00WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
Theuniskraal Cape Riesling is particularly compelling because it represents both heritage and terroir: the estate is one of South Africa’s oldest white-wine producers, and this Riesling reflects its Tulbagh Valley origins with precision. The cool mountain climate, stony soils, and low-yield vineyard parcels contribute to its elegant minerality, refined acidity, and aromatic vibrancy — qualities that make it a standout Cape Riesling that rewards both early enjoyment and thoughtful ageing.REVIEWS/AWARDS
