Wildeberg Coterie Cinsault Rosé 2025, a little bit of summer magic

High on the slopes of the Franschhoek mountains, Wildeberg has built a rather wonderful reputation for doing things their own way. Wild fermentations, carefully chosen vineyards and a genuine fascination with what makes each piece of Cape soil different. It’s an approach that has produced some thoughtfully individual w**es.

The Coterie Cinsault Rosé 2025 is a firm favourite with us

The story begins in Agter-Paarl, with organically farmed, dryland bush vines rooted in mineral-rich soils.
Throughout the process, every decision is made to preserve the character of the fruit.

The result is a gorgeous, delicate shallot-pink rosé with subtle strawberry notes, a lovely savoury edge and a fine, creamy texture. Completely dry, with a mineral freshness and focused finish

Serve it well chilled with fresh seafood, grilled prawns or a long, leisurely lunch that has absolutely no reason to end early.

Wildeberg Coterie Cinsault Rosé 2025, your must have summer companion.

BLANK BOTTLE with Pieter Walser
26 November 5:30pm – 8:00pm

Some w**emakers have a style that puts them on the map. Pieter Walser has a philosophy and about 47 w**es a year to prove it, which is an almost unreasonable number for a producer this size. Peter has hand selected 10 of these w**es to taste with us, each one from a batch that is a unique, tiny example from a specific site.

It all started back in 2004 with a customer who was adamant about one thing: no Shiraz. Pieter poured her a glass anyway, didn’t say what it was. What would you know, She loved it, bought three cases and then found out it was Shiraz all along. That was the moment it clicked for him: people drink the label before they drink the w**e. So the labels had to go. No cultivar, no clues, no excuse to decide before you’ve even tasted it.

Each BLANK bottle w**e is a story wearing a label (and a cool one at that), and on 26 November, Pieter’s bringing those stories to W**e Menu in person. Expect a few surprises in the glass, a few in the lineup (he’s keeping that under wraps until closer to the date), and the kind of evening that only works with the person who made the w**e actually in the room telling you why and how.

The local kingdoms of Rickety Bridge

The name “Regna Loca” means “local kingdoms”. The Regna Loca range celebrates the relationship between South Africa’s finest w**e regions and the cultivars best suited to their unique climates. Every kingdom has a throne. In South Africa’s wildly varied w**e climates, each region is ruled by a different cultivar. Regna Loca celebrates this regional sovereignty - borne out of the elemental kinship between grape and ground. We have chosen two to share with you:

Regna Loca Chardonnay 2025 | Hemel-en-Aarde

This Chardonnay is from a vineyard planted in 2007 just 9km from the Atlantic Ocean. This Chardonnay has beautiful focus and flavour with notes of lemon curd and stone fruit. On the palate it offers a lush and delicate mouthfeel. After ten months in Austrian and French oak there is great depth of flavour but it doesn’t overpower the fruit. It has great fresh acidity through out and a long balanced finish. A wonderful example of cool climate chardonnay.

Regna Loca Semillon 2025 | Franschhoek

This fruit comes from some incredible old bush vines that were planted back in 1905. Within this parcel of old vines there is a little amount of naturally occurring Sémillon Gris. Notes of lemon zest, pickled citrus and dried herbs on the nose. The palate is rich and savoury with great acidity. It has a long mineral finish. Fermented in amphora and barrel this is a very characterful Semillon with great structure to age it over a few years.

Both new releases can be found at W**e Menu, online and in-store

HEARTH 2024, A beautiful expression of Hemel-en-Aarde

For nearly two decades, Nadia Newton Johnson has been an integral part of the story of fine w**e in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Having joined Newton Johnson Vineyards in 2006, she helped establish the family w**ery as one of South Africa’s most respected producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Hearth is her own deeply personal venture, born from years of working with these vineyards, understanding their individual characters and developing an intimate knowledge of the land she calls home.

We are pleased to welcome two exceptional new releases to W**e Menu.

Hearth Swinsian Chardonnay 2024 is a wonderfully precise expression of its origins. From vines planted in 2004, it offers citrus zest, the intriguing flinty character of struck match and a delicate savoury complexity. Beautifully textured, with chalky minerality, bright acidity and a lingering saline finish. Just 928 bottles were produced.

Hearth Artjesvlei Pinot Noir 2024 comes from a small, south-facing vineyard rooted in granite, a site particularly close to Nadia’s heart as she was involved in its original planning and planting. Wild strawberry, red cherry and crushed rose petals lead into graphite and fine savoury spice. The palate is beautifully layered, with finely woven tannins, freshness and remarkable length. Production was limited to 1,876 bottles.

Both w**es speak eloquently of their vineyards, with the sort of detail and individuality that makes the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley such an extraordinary place for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

These are w**es worth making room for in the cellar, and even more worth finding an occasion to open.

Both 2024 releases are now available at W**e Menu, online and in-store at Kramerville.

Saturday Sipping Session – Painted Wolf W**es
31 October

Painted Wolf W**es began with two passions: w**emaking and the conservation of Africa’s endangered wild dogs. Emma and Jeremy Borg founded the company in 2006, with Jeremy pursuing his craft as a w**emaker while the business helped raise funds for conservation. Since then, Painted Wolf has donated more than R4m to wild dog and related conservation projects.

The w**es themselves are distinctly South African, with a particular focus on Chenin Blanc and Pinotage. Jeremy also works with other varietals such as Shiraz and Rhone cultivars that thrive in our warm climate conditions. His approach is thoughtful and hands-on, with each vineyard and vintage guiding the w**emaking rather than following a fixed recipe.

The result is a collection of expressive w**es with plenty of character. And there is something rather special about enjoying a good glass of w**e while knowing that it is also helping protect one of Africa’s most remarkable animals.

Great Heart. Great w**e. An even more intriguing story.

There’s good reason to have a soft spot for Great Heart W**es. Born from a vision by Chris and Andrea Mullineux, the brand is owned by the employees of Mullineux & Leeu Family W**es, giving the people who work behind the scenes a genuine stake in the w**es they help create.

And the w**es deserve every bit as much attention as the story.

The Great Heart Swartland Red Blend 2022 brings together generous dark fruit, plum, a little clove and black pepper, with the freshness and structure that make Swartland reds so appealing. A wonderfully satisfying bottle for a long lunch that finds its way into dinner.

The Great Heart Franschhoek Cabernet Franc 2023 is particularly lovely. Fragrant blackberry, fynbos and a touch of bergamot, with fine tannins and that unmistakable Cabernet Franc freshness. Elegant, beautifully balanced and well worth getting to know.

Both are available at W**e Menu, on the shelf and online. Come and find your favourite.

A game of Snakes & Ladders worth playing.

High in the rugged Skurfberg, where old bush vines battle fierce heat, deep sandy soils and the whims of nature, John Seccombe makes one of the Cape’s most compelling Sauvignon Blancs.

Thorne & Daughters Snakes & Ladders 2025 is a fascinating departure from the familiar. Wild fermentation and time in old oak bring remarkable texture and depth, with exotic fruit, savoury complexity and a wonderful saline freshness that carries through to the finish.

It’s Sauvignon Blanc with the structure and ambition of a serious white w**e, and a rather persuasive reminder of just how extraordinary this grape can be in the right hands.

A very fine bottle to have on your table.

Available at W**e Menu. Online and in-store

BLANKbottle Tasting with Pieter Walser

26 November @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

If you are new to BLANKbottle and what Pieter Walser is up to, explaining it to you would be a lot like trying to map out the ever-moving sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. Pieter is somewhat of a mad genius, making approximately 47 different w**es every year which is a staggering amount for a boutique producer.

The concept of BLANKbottle began in 2004, when Pieter was approached by a lady who wanted to buy anything but Shiraz from him. “I don’t drink Shiraz,” were her exact words. Pieter proceeded to pour her a glass of w**e to try. She loved it and bought three cases. It was a straight Shiraz! This was the moment Pieter realised that people really do judge a book by its cover. And so, he removed the cultivar from all his w**e labels, along with any preconceived ideas it might conjure.

Pieter is a master storyteller, and he will be joining us at W**e Menu in person to host an evening exploring a collection of these mysteriously amazing w**es and the stories behind each bottle. This is your chance to hear the stories straight from the man behind the w**es.

The line-up for the evening will only be confirmed closer to the time. What we can promise is a vibrant evening of exceptional w**es, unexpected discoveries and storytelling.

Seats are limited, so booking is essential, tickets linked in our bio.

A rather special evening with Restless River.

Last night, we had the pleasure of welcoming Craig Wessels to W**e Menu to taste the new Restless River vintages, including two exciting new single-vineyard releases. And what a treat!

A huge thank you to Craig for sharing these exceptional w**es and the stories behind them.

We thought the best way to introduce you to the w**es was through Corlein’s own tasting notes. Swipe to read straight from her tasting book.

The official release is 1 November, but you can get in early.

Slide into our DMs to get on the list to purchase before the official release.

Saturday Sipping Session – This Saturday, 24 October we are sipping Erika O w**es.

Erika Obermeyer has built her w**es around a simple idea: let the vineyard speak. Her aim is to capture the character of each site and the natural expression of the fruit, rather than masking it with heavy w**emaking.

This takes her to some of the Cape’s most distinctive vineyard sites. Cool, maritime Firgrove brings structure and elegance, while the old dryland bush vines of the Agter-Paarl bring depth and concentration. Further west, the Atlantic influence of Groenekloof gives freshness and energy, while the warmer vineyards of Wellington are well suited to expressive Grenache.

The result is a collection of w**es that show just how varied South Africa’s vineyards can be. Each bottle offers a different sense of place, with character at the heart of the w**emaking.

We will be sipping:

Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Chenin Blanc 2022
Syrah / Grenache Cinsault 2020
Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
