Each year the critics at Wine and Spirits Magazine reviews tens of thousands of wines. And each year, they select their TOP VALUE BRANDS OF THE YEAR.

This year they selected 55 brands that across multiple wines, consistently deliver high value.

Just 55 out of an estimated more than 5,000 wine brands in the US. This is literally the TOP 1% OF WINE VALUE BRANDS IN THE US.

We could not be more proud that one of our wines is among those.

Rooiberg Winery is one of the Top 55 Value Brands of the Year. Specifically, Wine and Spirits said the following:

 

What: Modern wines ranging from plump and easy-drinking to spicy and sophisticated.

Standout: The Reserve Merlot, with foresty fruit and fleshy red tannins.

Where: Based in the Breede River Valley, Rooiberg works with 34 growers spread across Robertson’s limestone soils.

When: Pour the gentle Chardonnay at brunch; save the Merlot and the tart ’08 Roodewyn Cabernet–Merlot for barbecued spare ribs.

While the consistent quality and value are impressive, consider this. The wines are from grapes grown in accordance with South Africa's Biodiversity-Wine Initiative, and HAACP (Europe) organic certification.

These are truly worthwhile wines, and we are proud to have them. Check out our store finder to see if they're available near you yet. If not, please consider asking your favorite bottle shop to get them for you.
