Reenen Rescue Case
Arriving 20/10/2020
Reenen would like to say hello
1,800 Angels needed to rescue Reenen's small family winery
- Reenen Borman is one of the rising stars of the South African wine scene. Tim Atkin once called him "one of the most talented young winemakers in the world". His winery, near Stellenbosch, is a small family business - Reenen makes the wines, his dad tends to the grapes, and his mum and wife run the office.
- When Covid hit, South Africa's strict lockdown dealt a huge blow to Reenen's winery. They previously sold 90% of their wine to restaurants and bars around the world - so the sudden global closures, coupled with an immediate ban on alcohol sales and exports in South Africa left him wondering what to do.
- Reenen turned to us, and in one single order we rescued half of his winery's annual production. It's a total game changer for Reenen's small business. In return for your support, you'll get 6 food friendly, characterful, delicious reds that deserve the best food and best company.
What's in the Reenen Rescue Case
Boschkloof Conclusion 2017
by Reenen Borman
Reenen’s flagship red. A mouthwateringly elegant and refined blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, handpicked from his very best plots. A match made in heaven for roast rib of beef and all the trimmings.
Grape: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
ABV: 14.5% | vegan / veggie
Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
by Reenen Borman
Reenen uses 30-35 year old vines to make his dense, dark, classic Cab Sav. Deliciously complex Christmas cake flavours mingle on your tongue. It’ll age for up to 8 years. Great with a nice steak.
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon
ABV: 14% | vegan / veggie
Boschkloof Merlot 2018
by Reenen Borman
A complex, deep ruby red Merlot with gorgeous cherry and wild berry flavours and a long, velvety finish. Reenen likes to drink it with good friends over a roast chicken dinner. Simple, but delicious.
Grapes: Merlot
ABV: 14.5% | vegan / veggie
Boschkloof Syrah 2018
by Reenen Borman
A classic, Rhone-style Syrah that's seriously smooth and silky, with hints of fresh red berries, violets and a touch of white pepper spice. It’s perfectly balanced and dangerously easy to drink.
Grapes: Syrah
ABV: 14% | vegan / veggie
Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
by Reenen Borman
A full-bodied, ripe red, with concentrated plum and blackberry flavours, matured in posh French oak to give it an extra kick of spice and luxuriousness. Will turn your Tuesday night spag bol into a Michelin-worthy experience.
