Rietvallei Estate Wine 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Robertson)
- $15
Crisp and flinty flavors with a luscious offering of fig and juicy citrus give this white a complex kick. On the tongue, it offers a rounder, fuller experience, but the finish is clean and dry. A stylish wine with a zippy backbone.

This medium-bodied red offers elegant, approachable aromas of coffee, red berry and cinnamon spice on the nose, and balanced flavors of toasted wood spice, fruit and a touch of minerality. Poised but friendly, the fruit is juicy and the tannins soft.

Rietvallei Estate Wine 2002 Muscadel (Robertson)
- Best Buy
- $11
A distinctive sweet wine that’s labeled red but is more rosé in color. Deep floral aromas open to a rich but not cloying palate of strawberry, caramel and chocolate flavors. Very ripe, and smoothly textured with a long finish, this can work either as an apéritif or a dessert drink.

Rietvallei Estate Wine 2006 Chardonnay (Robertson)
- Best Buy
- $13
This is a sophisticated Chardonnay that balances vibrant fruit flavors with light, spicy oak. Lime and citrus on the nose are backed by flavors of rounded fruit and a toasty wooded character. Understated and elegant, but with a lingering finish, this wine makes an impact because it gets everything right in a memorable way.

Rietvallei Estate Wine 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Robertson)
- $15
Grown in the Robertson region, this full-bodied wine has a bright berry nose with hints of woodsy spice, and on the palate offers chocolate, coffee, some leather and toasted oak. It’s an elegant wine with ample structure—very good on its own or when paired with heartier dishes like steak or venison.

Rietvallei Estate Wine 2007 Juanita Rosé Cabernet Sauvignon (Robertson)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Fresh, fruity and charming, this rosé offers full-bodied flavors of strawberry and spice that are balanced and complex. A step above the typical flirty rosé, the wine gives style and substance and will handle heartier dishes—think Moroccan tagine or grilled, spiced fish.
