This holiday season, wine collectors and enthusiasts are in for a delightful treat as three exceptional magnum wines are being re-released from our treasured library stock. These extraordinary magnums offer a unique opportunity to savour well-aged, collectible wines that are perfect for gifting and celebrating. In the words of Winston Churchill, “A magnum is the perfect size for two gentlemen to share over lunch… especially if one of them isn’t drinking.” These wines promise to elevate your celebrations with the same spirit.
Magnum wine bottles offer several advantages over their standard 750ml counterparts. Not only do they make an impressive centrepiece on your holiday table, but their larger size also results in a slower aging process. With a smaller ratio of air to wine, magnums allow wines to mature gracefully and maintain their freshness over a more extended period. Moreover, the grandeur of gifting a magnum is unparalleled, conveying a sense of generosity and thoughtfulness.
Rondekop Rhodium 2012 Magnum (Right-Bank Bordeaux Blend) – R4 440 Per Bottle
The Rondekop Rhodium 2012 Magnum, a true gem among Bordeaux blends, offers a graceful, well-structured wine experience.With its blend dominated by Merlot, it delights the palate with dark cherries and hints of vanilla. The magnum size ensures a slow aging process, delivering an impeccably aged Bordeaux that any wine enthusiast will treasure.
Oldenburg Vineyards Syrah 2013 Magnum – R1 530 Per Bottle
This wine, rich and bold, teems with dark fruit flavours. Its larger format allows for extended aging, resulting in a wine that embodies the perfect balance of power and finesse, making it a superb addition to your holiday meals.
Rondekop Per Se 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum – R2 820 Per Bottle
The Rondekop Per Se 2018 Magnum Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptional wine that showcases the true character of Cabernet Sauvignon. With deep black fruit notes, structured tannins, and a luxurious, velvety finish, this wine is a remarkable testament to its varietal. Being a magnum, this 2018 vintage has barely started to showcase any age at all and can be cellared for many more years to come.
The re-release of these treasured magnum wines from our library stock is a perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season. These wines offer unparalleled quality, elegance, and the joy of sharing something truly extraordinary. Raise a glass to a holiday season filled with cherished memories and the exquisite taste of exceptional wines. Cheers!
