Spier Seaward Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Seaward grapes are selected from South Africa's top coastal areas, growing in a narrow band close to the cold Atlantic ocean and the temperate waters of False Bay. Such terroir provides what you might call a perfect storm - with barely any human intervention needed to produce outstanding harvests for our winemakers, every year. The vineyards are 6-20km from the ocean. They are planted on a range of aspects, from flat to north-eastern facing slopes that moderate phenolic development and enhance fruit preservation. The rich and deeply decomposed granite soil retains water well and is moderately fertile, resulting in low, concentrated yields. This adds to the complexity and tannin structure of the wine. Spier is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms with a recorded winemaking history dating back to 1692. The winemaking team is committed to crafting wines truly expressive of their terroir, with minimal interference. While rooted in this heritage, they have a vibrant and conscious energy. Their Growing for Good initiatives empower communities to make positive social and environmental change. Ranging from art and entrepreneurship to regenerative farming and ecological restoration, these projects and partnerships are creating a ripple effect of lasting and meaningful impact.
The Brand Malbec (Magnum) 2018
The Brand Malbec Chile 2018 is a rich and expressive Malbec from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chile, producing vibrant, ripe fruit with remarkable depth and balance. The grapes are carefully harvested at peak ripeness to capture the varietal’s signature dark berry and plum aromas. Gentle fermentation preserves the wine’s freshness and aromatic purity, while subtle oak influence adds complexity and structure, resulting in a smooth, polished Malbec with a lingering finish. Meet the producer Lanchester Wines sources The Brand Malbec from carefully selected vineyards in Chile, aiming to craft approachable, expressive wines that showcase the unique terroir of the region while maintaining consistency and quality. Production Grapes are hand-picked and fermented in controlled conditions to retain their bright fruit character. The wine is matured briefly in oak to integrate flavours and enhance texture, then lightly filtered and bottled under screw cap to preserve its freshness. Tasting notes Deep ruby in colour, the wine displays aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and subtle violet, with hints of spice and cocoa. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with juicy fruit, fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. Food match Perfect with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, pasta dishes, and medium-aged cheeses. Grape Malbec 100%
