We’v added more wines….
January may encourage restraint, but we prefer good judgment. For a limited time, we’ve taken a handful of our favourite bottles from the Museum Wines shelves and marked them down, ensuring you save at least 20% on everything. Carefully chosen, impeccably sourced, and entirely unapologetic.
From serious, cellar-worthy bottles to reliable everyday favourites (you know, the ones that don’t need an occasion), this is an excellent excuse to restock, explore, or quietly ignore January’s advice altogether. The sale runs until the end of the month, while stocks last.

An Unlikely Dry January
94 Points – Greg Sherwood MW
“Grapes for The Postman Grenache Blanc 2024 were sourced from a vineyard planted in the early 2000s on the Riebeekberg, made with 50% fermentation in older 500-litre oak and 50% in stainless steel tanks, before maturation lasting nine months. This deliciously seductive Grenache Blanc boast a pale crystalline canary yellow brightness accompanied by intricate, complex aromatics of lemon and lime peel, lemon grass, wet stone minerality with a delicate kiss of white flowers, leesy lemon biscuits and white peaches drizzled in honey. Coming from Schist and Granitic soils, the palate packs an impressive intensity with a pithy yellow citrus, tart green apple and white peach fruit concentration. Also delicately flinty and stony, the wet river pebble mineral notes marry well with the wine’s tart, bright crystalline fruit persistence, making for another very serious white wine from this winery. Drink now to enjoy its overt vivacity or over the next 3 to 5 years as it puts on a little more leesy, savoury complexity.” – Greg Sherwood MW.

“While Wynand Grobler s small winery is located in Tulbagh, this impressive Shiraz is made from grapes sourced in the Walker Bay region. Fabulously deep purple black in colour, the 2022 offers up attractive aromatics of crushed black berries, warm plums, sweet violets, hoisin plum sauce, and Black Forest Gateau dusted with freshly ground black pepper and subtle hints of fynbos and cured meats. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied, coating the mouth with fleshy black berry and blueberry fruits, creamy textural tannins and yet more complexing incense, pepper and cinnamon Christmas spices. An impressive Shiraz that revels in its own uniqueness, remaining fresh and vibrant with a cool coastal vein of acidity on a long, perfumed finish. Delicious right down to the very last sip. Drink on release and over the next 5 to 8 years.” – Greg Sherwood MW.
