The Rietvallei Estate family wine brands JMB and Estéanna have in recent months been riding a wave of recognition in prominent competitions and specialised media reports.

Rietvallei Single Vineyard Rietvallei JMB Cabernet Franc 2014 has earned top honours at the 2019 SA Terroir Awards. This is the third vintage of the estate’s Cabernet Franc to receive the honour following successes in 2015 and 2018.

The Rietvallei Esteanna Red Blend has scored 90 points at the Cape Bordeaux Report 2019, presented by WineMag.co.za.

“Every family has a story that it tells itself, that it passes on to the children and grandchildren. The story grows over the years, mutates, some parts are sharpened, others dropped, and there is often debate about what really happened. But even with these different sides of the same story, there is still agreement that this is the family story. And in the absence of other narratives, it becomes the flagpole that the family hangs its identity from.”  (A.M. Homes)

The newly released Rietvallei Estéanna Sauvignon Blanc 2018 marks a significant stylistic departure in this flagship wine’s evolution – expressing the exceptional potential of the vintage on the estate.
