All these wines come from a wine boutique in Stellenbosch ... so the storage conditions were ideal. These wines are perfect to appreciate or to keep as collectors items.
All wines were specially selected from the complete collection (120+ bottles) because they are the top of the range/flagship wines for these farms, some of them have won awards, some of them were limited editions and they generally had a very good ageing potential.
We have opened about 60+ of the other bottles (some entry level, some top of the range). They are perfectly aged.
2012 Platter's Vintage Guide:
2000 (1 bottle): Powerful and concentrated reds, befitting a hot year; the best have kept very well. Whites generally less impressive and not for long ageing.
2001 (2 bottles): Some excellent reds - fruity and concentrated, best are long-lived. Flavourful if alcoholic whites.
2002 (2 bottles): Challenging and patchy; generally individual producers' track record rather than variety or terroir should guide the purchase/cellaring decision.

The total amount for all 50 bottles is R8800. If you calculate what the wine would cost you if you had to buy the latest releases (prices in brackets) it would cost you R6600.
If you're only interested in individual bottles or just a few bottles, but not the whole collection, let me know & I'll make a separate "Buy Now" for you. For every R1000 spent you'll get R250 off ... or you can buy the whole collection for R6500.
The buyer can organise their own courier or we can make use of Cape Grape & Wine Logistics (http://www.aspiring.co.za/index.php/local). The buyer is also more than welcome to come pick up the wine in Durbanville, Cape Town.
