It takes experience to spot the makings of a classic. So, who better to review the award-winning Riebeek Cellars range than famous folk born in the same year as the cellar itself – 1941.

Who doesn’t love great value for money? Bob, Neil, Martha, Anne and Tom certainly do. Especially Martha. Federal Prison can do that to you.

Neil Diamond

“I know I said “pour me a drink and I’ll tell you some lies” but this here Riebeek Cellars Shiraz really did win Double Gold at the Ultra Wine Awards. And it was the highest scoring wine of the entire show with 97/100. What do you mean you don’t believe me? It’s just a line from a song! Here, try some and see for yourself, mister.”

Martha Stewart

“Want inside info on this summer’s top sippers? Believe me, I know how to stay cool when the heat is on. Whether you’re holidaying in the Hamptons or counting floor cracks in a tiny room with generous security, Riebeek Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2016 will be there for you. This Double Gold winner at the Ultra Value Wine Awards also fits snugly into a supermarket Swiss roll. For special deliveries…” *wink

Bob Dylan

“Businessmen keep drinking my wine, plowmen dig my earth. I need some mellow tannins, to bolster my mirth.

The Swedes think I’m arrogant, for not collecting the prize. But I wrote nothing long enough, to justify its size.

This award-winning Merlot chills me to the bone, so let’s raise a glass to Riebeek Cellars ‘cos this tastes like home.”

Anne Rice – Interview with a Vampire

“Shall we – to the very last bloody drop – drain this Riebeek Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 as one would the slender neck of a virgin? Is not Gold from Ultra Value Wine Awards an immortal affirmation of quality and quaffability? Indeed, let us drink to eternal health and a long, long life… Top-up, anyone?”

Tom Fogerty – Creedence Clearwater Revival

“Shoot! Folks over at them Ultra Value Wine Awards gone say she’s a silver but I swear she’s a double gold. Best let the Riebeek Cellars Chenin Blanc do the talkin’, an’ you’ll see why I’m sold. Ain’t no bad moon rising when you enjoying this little mama cold.”
