We are very excited to welcome husband-and-wife team Chris and Suzaan of Alheit Vineyards, to the Great Domaines family of producers in Gauteng. The Alheits share a similar philosophy to 1 which is central to most of the producers in our portfolio: a focus on terroir.

This week’s wine highlight: joining Château d'Yquem cellar master Tony El Khawand for a dip into the history of the iconic sweet wine, and a taste of selected vintages, from the bright, sharp new vintage, to the rich and layered ‘84. Catch Tony on #DRLW, coming soon. #NGF

This is absolutely sensational! Estate Argyros on the Greek island of Santorini. Now the challenge is try and increase our RSA allocation of this 200 year old vine beauty. Wow.

A different take on cabernet franc: if big, bold styles with appreciable use of oak are what you’re used to, then Domaine des Closiers offers a striking counterpoint. Elegant, floral, and with a short but captivating history. Thanks Great Domaines for the introduction. #DRLW

Domaine Bonneau du Martray adding Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru to their offering will be a very interesting chapter to watch unfold…..

The ridiculously likeable Alex Starey touches down in Johannesburg, armed with new @keermont single vineyard releases. Non-identical twin syrahs (appreciably different Topside and Steepside), glorious cabernet franc, and benchmark Riverside chenin blanc. Coming soon on #DRLW.

One to seek out: chance to sample a range of unusual wines from abroad (on this occasion, Hungarian furmint and some Loire delight amongst them). Thanks Andrew Shelly and Great Domaines - wine horizons broadened a little more, and happily so. #DRLW

Phew, another big decrease in EP price with Mouton Rothschild 2023 being released . 37% down on last years price. That’s pretty significant. Now to see how much of a difference it makes with the uptake from the market…..

Alheit Vineyards Vintage 2023 release tasting My first words to Chris Alheit this morning after the tasting, when he turned around to ask my feedback on his new releases was, RESPECT no other words. A Private tasting this morning at Great Domaines, the room felt like we were

Loved it! Roll on next year.
