Rietvallei
South Africa is in the fortunate position of being able to put complex and developed white wines on the market in the year of vintage, offering consumers wines which are fresh and fruit-driven, yet are developed with many different dimensions.
Visitors to Rietvallei over this holiday period will be able to taste the white wines from the 2014 vintage, including the award-winning Estéanna white blend. And if you have a keen eye, you will also notice that the packaging has been revamped, cleaning-up the labels which honour the Rietvallei tradition while exuding a look of modern style.
The tasting room will be open for most of the festive season - see www.rietvallei.co.za - and the team looks forward to welcoming you on the farm where you will be among the first wine lovers to try the new vintages. Enjoy!

And then, my pride and joy and highlight of the year, was two new wines with totally new packaging. Coinciding with its 150th anniversary this year we released two single vineyard wines under a new label. The wines, a Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay, are Rietvallei’s first wild-fermented wines and to my mind represent a highlight in the Estate’s history of making fine wine in the Robertson Valley.
