Rietvallei Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2020 received Top 10 Status in this year’s Sauvignon Blanc Report.
As some of you might have noticed, our Rietvallei Red Muscadel 2018 has seen a change in shape and size. This wine now boasts an elegant 500 ml bottle and has a new cork closure. Thus far, this new-look Muscadel has proved its worth by having received a 91-point rating at the Prescient Sweet Wine & Fortifieds Report 2020 hosted my Winemag.co.za. The Rietvallei Red Muscadel 2018 is full-bodied and rich, but also gentle on the palate. A floral, muscat bouquet is evident on the nose, with a typical raisiny sweetness and an intense, rich flavour that lingers on the taste, while the ideal acidity balances and complements the sweetness.
Rietvallei Wine Estate is proud to announce clinching a coveted Double Platinum award in this year’s National Wine Challenge / Top 100 SA Wines hosted by buybetterwine.com – with the Rietvallei Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 being placed under the competition’s Top 100 wines. Our Rietvallei Natural Unwooded Chardonnay 2019 was also a top contender this year and won a Double Gold medal.
Nothing says Autumn quite like an apple crumble. This comfortingly cosy dessert is made all the more warming with the addition of tenderly poached quince and a few measures of Rietvallei Muscadel. Cheerful red Royal Gala apples are roasted in honey, bay and Muscadel and blanketed under a mixture of oats, sticky brown sugar and butter. Make the quince ahead of time, as the excess is delicious with custard for a speedy after-dinner treat.
