Vergelegen Tasting

Tuesday 11th March

Short notice we know but we have just been offered the chance to taste Vergelegens’ whole range of wines (probably at the Hotel du Vin) with our customers. Eddie Turner Vergelegens marketing manager will be joining us and he will be able to talk people through the wines.

Here is a proposed list of the wines we will be tasting

Vergelegen Sauvignon Blanc Reserve £13.99
Vergelegen Chardonnay Reserve £13.99
Vergelegen Semillon Reserve £13.99
Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve £14.99
Vergelegen Merlot Reserve £13.99
Vergelegen Shiraz £13.99

Vergelegen Prestige White £22.99
Vergelegen Prestige Red £27.99 (certainly to 2003 but we are trying to get some of the critically acclaimed 2001)

Vergelegen V £60 (Vergelegens top wine made in limited quantities)

The tasting will not be including food and will be a relaxed informal affair that will last no more than two hours.

The tasting will be by ticket only and we will have to charge a small fee (we are working out how much at the moment). This fee will be redeemable on any mixed case orders placed .

All tickets must be purchased in advance.

If you are interested in coming to this tasting then please drop us a line, either by email or by calling the shop on 01423 522270.

As ever there will be a limited number of places .

Pink Champagne

Its that time of the year again...

Gosset Rose £39.99

Veuve Clicquot Vintage 2000 Rose £47.99
Louis Roederer Vintage 2002 Rose £54.99
Dom Perignon Vintage 1996 Rose £230

We pride ourselves on having Champagnes that are not commonly seen in other shops.

Boekenhoutskloof new vintage has arrived

We have long been admirers of this great estate, which must now be one of the top three in South Africa. As ever with wines like this they are made in relatively small quantities and as such do tend to sell out rather quickly. All wine will be sold on a first come first served basis.

Boekenhoutskloof Semillon 2004 £16.99

Boekenhoutskloof Semillon 2005 £16.99

Boekenhoutskloof Chocolate Block 2006 £17.99

Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 £23.99

Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2005 £25.99

We would like to offer a 10% mixed case discount on all the above wines. Also we would like to remind customers that we will happily ship wines nationally, please call the shop to discuss this further.
