MATURE NORTHERN RHÔNE SYRAH

Five wines. Five producers. Three Côte-Rôties. One evening.

The next GWA Cellar Selection takes us to the Northern Rhône for a comparative tasting of mature Syrah from some seriously exciting producers.

Cédric Parpette, Montmain Côte-Rôtie 2016
Alain Graillot, Crozes-Hermitage 2014
Domaine des Remizières, Cuvée Emilie Hermitage 2014
Vignobles Levet, Amethyste Côte-Rôtie 2016
Saint Cosme, Côte-Rôtie 2017

And these aren’t tiny tasting measures. You receive 100ml of every wine.

We’ll taste all five together live on Zoom, exploring the appellations, producers and vintages, but most importantly comparing how these mature Syrahs have developed in bottle.

If you’re studying wine, it’s a chance to put some serious benchmarks in the glass.

If you’ve finished studying and miss the opportunity to sit down, taste properly and talk about great wine, that’s exactly why I created the Cellar Selection series.

Tuesday 8 September 2026
18:00–20:00 UK time
Live on Zoom
Maximum 12 places
Recording available for one month

UK & EU delivery

EU orders close 25 August, so don’t hang around if you’re joining us from Europe.

South Africa Cellar Selection

A Rare Opportunity to Explore Mature South African Fine Wine

Over the years we have quietly built a small cellar of wines that have inspired us, challenged us and reminded us why South Africa is one of the most exciting fine wine regions in the world.
For this exclusive Cellar Selection, we have ventured into those reserves to create a tasting that would be difficult, expensive and, in some cases, impossible to recreate today.

The line-up includes mature vintages from some of South Africa’s most respected producers, alongside wines that have become benchmarks for their regions and grape varieties. Many of these wines were purchased years ago and carefully cellared, allowing them to develop the complexity, nuance and harmony that only time can provide.

One of the highlights is the acclaimed Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2015. Widely regarded as one of the most important South African wines of the modern era, this celebrated Bordeaux blend helped propel South Africa firmly onto the world’s fine wine stage. Opportunities to taste mature examples alongside other leading wines from the Cape are increasingly rare.

The tasting also showcases Chenin Blanc in all its forms, from single-varietal expressions to complex blends, demonstrating why the grape has become synonymous with South Africa’s fine wine renaissance. Ken Forrester features prominently, including a limited-allocation Grenache that is seldom encountered outside specialist circles.

Featured Wines

Ken Forrester The FMC Chenin Blanc, Stellenbosch 2019 100ml

Chris & Suzaan Alheit Cartology, 90% CB, 10% Semillon, Western Cape 2018 100ml

Vondeling Voor Paardeberg, 50% CB, 24% Ch, 13% GB, 13% Viog 2014 100ml

Kanonkop Paul Sauer Simonsberg- Stellenbosch, 70% CS, 15% Mer, 15% CF 2015 100ml

Ken Forrester The Gypsy, Grenache/Syrah, Western Cape 2015 100ml

What makes a wine iconic?

One of the wines we’ll be exploring in our January Cellar Selection tasting is the legendary Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2010.

Founded by Robert O’Callaghan in the Barossa Valley, Rockford built its reputation by championing old vineyards, traditional winemaking and patience. Basket Press has become one of Australia’s most sought-after wines, with mature bottles rarely seen outside private collections.

After 15 years in bottle, the 2010 is beginning to reveal the savoury complexity, elegance and depth that have made it a favourite amongst collectors worldwide.

We’ll be tasting it alongside five other benchmark Australian wines:

• Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Hunter Semillon 2012 (100ml)
• Pewsey Vale “The Contours” Riesling 2015 (100ml)
• Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2017 (100ml)
• Torbreck The Struie Shiraz 2014 (50ml)
• d’Arenberg The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 (50ml)

To make these rare and increasingly difficult-to-source wines accessible, the white wines are supplied as 100ml samples and the reds as 50ml samples.

The tasting costs just £80, including the wines, UK delivery and a two-hour live Zoom tasting where we’ll discuss the history, regions, viticulture, winemaking and ageing potential of each wine.

The opportunity to taste a mature Rockford Basket Press alongside classics from Tyrrell’s, Shaw + Smith, Torbreck and d’Arenberg is exactly why I created the Cellar Selection series.

Maximum 12 places available.

South Africa. Bordeaux. History in a glass.

One of the wines featuring in our upcoming Cellar Selection tastings is the legendary Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2015.

Why am I so excited to share this wine with you all?

Because this isn’t just another highly rated red wine.

In 2018, Paul Sauer 2015 became the first South African wine ever to receive a perfect 100-point score from Tim Atkin MW, who described it as “one of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted.”

That score wasn’t awarded because the wine was fashionable or rare.

It was awarded because it represents something far more important: a wine region reaching world-class maturity.

Produced on the slopes of the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch, Paul Sauer is Kanonkop’s iconic Bordeaux blend, traditionally made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Named after former owner Paul Sauer, the wine has been one of South Africa’s benchmark fine wines since the early 1980s.

The 2015 vintage is regarded as one of the Cape’s greatest modern vintages. Perfect growing conditions, meticulous vineyard work and the expertise of Abrie Beeslaar combined to create a wine of remarkable concentration, structure and longevity.

But tasting a wine like this isn’t about chasing scores.

It’s about understanding:

• Why Stellenbosch can compete with the finest Cabernet blends in the world
• How climate, soils and winemaking shape style
• What true age-worthy structure tastes like
• Why some wines become historic landmarks for an entire country

These are exactly the conversations we have during our Cellar Selection sessions.

Two hours long to have a deep dive into the stories, regions, producers and tasting techniques that help bring great wines to life.

If you’ve ever wanted to taste one of South Africa’s most important wines alongside fellow enthusiasts, I’d love you to join us.

There are two opportunities to try this wine. Details are on the website.
