Enjoy Limited Production Estate
Bottled Wines
Discover limited production estate bottled wines such as Vergenoegd's internationally
acclaimed 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, imported exclusively for our members.
- Country: South Africa
- Wine Vintage: 2012
- Serving Temperature: 40°-45° F
- Grape Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Refined, yet immensely flavorful, balanced, and mouth filling, the fresh, youthful 2012 Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc offers a complex aroma of gooseberry, citrus, passion fruit, and much more. It follows with crisp minerality, a subtle hint of clover, and pure fruit flavors that include melon, papaya, passion fruit, and sweet lime. This impeccable offering is nothing short of outstanding. It blows away all but the very top French Sancerres and other New World pretenders, and at a price that allows more than multimillionaires a chance to enjoy it.
- Country: South Africa
- Wine Vintage: 2011
- Serving Temperature: 60°- 64° F
- Grape Varietals: Mourvèdre, Syrah, Viognier
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
The 2011 Bernard Series S.M.V. can easily match the finest Syrah based wines from France’s Rhône Valley, including world class Côte Rôtie. Imbued with a deep purple robe, a heady aroma, and more than a mouthful of lush, creamy flavors, this youthful wine is redolent with the scents of blackberry, sweet basil, oregano, lavender, and violet. Upon the first sip, intense yet satiny smooth blackberry flavors greet the palate while herb and floral components follow, seeping up from within to create a satisfying mid-palate and a long finish framed by fine grained tannins.
- Country: France
- Wine Vintage: 2011
- Serving Temperature: 40°-50° F
- Grape Varietals: Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Grand Tinel’s 2011 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc takes shape and develops length, depth and complexity as it breathes, so there is no need to be in a hurry to guzzle it down. From this light straw-colored wine, which holds more than a glimmer of the shimmering Provencal sun, emerges the seductive scents of apricot and golden peach infused with a dash of herbs and minerals. On the palate, the wine blossoms to reveal a creaminess and fullness of flavor, all the while maintaining a brightness and vivacity that makes it a pleasure to drink.
- Country: France
- Wine Vintage: 2010
- Serving Temperature: 58º-64º F
- Grape Varietals: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Domaine du Grand Tinel’s 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape underscores the virtues of the region’s outstanding 2010 vintage. Winemaker Elie Jeune’s 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape embodies the concentration and power inherent in the finest wines of the vintage, and is a classic age worthy wine that also drinks well young. Kirsch, plum, and roasted herb tones greet the nose to begin the odyssey. In the mouth, deep black fruit flavors mixed with Provencal herbs, fennel, and smoked meat flavors tantalize the palate, while firm but fine grained tannins provide a long, heady finish.
- Country: Uruguay
- Wine Vintage: 2011
- Serving Temperature: 60-65° F
- Grape Varietals: Merlot, Tannat
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Refined, yet immensely flavorful, balanced, and mouth filling, the fresh, youthful 2012 Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc offers a complex aroma of gooseberry, citrus, passion fruit, and much more. It follows with crisp minerality, a subtle hint of clover, and pure fruit flavors that include melon, papaya, passion fruit, and sweet lime. This impeccable offering is nothing short of outstanding. It blows away all but the very top French Sancerres and other New World pretenders, and at a price that allows more than multimillionaires a chance to enjoy it.
- Country: Italy
- Wine Vintage: 2012
- Serving Temperature: 40°-50° F
- Grape Varietals: Arneis
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
In Roero, the name Arneis is given to someone who is extroverted and charismatic, but also a bit rebellious – a description that aptly fits Demarie’s 2012 Roero Arneis. There’s nothing delicate about this wine, although it never comes across brash or crass. Dry, persistent and mouth filling, it presents a rather pronounced aroma of apricots and wild white peaches steeped with broom and chamomile. And on the palate, this Roero Arneis reveals full, robust fruit flavors tempered by subtle floral tones, a deft hint of fennel and a hint of almond as it slips down the throat.
- Country: Chile
- Wine Vintage: 2010
- Serving Temperature: 62º-66º F
- Grape Varietals: Carmenère
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
A deep purple wine with ruby highlights, Casa Silva’s flamboyant 2010 Reserva Carmenère provides a feast for the nose as well as the palate, offering up a heady bouquet of ripe blackberries, red bell pepper, woodland herbs, and delicate spices, which aptly prepare the palate for its cornucopia of flavors. On the palate, the essences of forest berries mingle with subtle earth tones and delicate notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Immediately attractive is its layer of soft tannin, which defines and frames the wine’s many flavors without overpowering them.
