Some of the best wines on a timed online auction
This auction will leave you wanting more wines from the Loire valley, as well as the best bottles South Africa has to offer.
You don’t want to miss out on this online auction where an eclectic selection of interesting and super rare vintage wines from the Loire valley is juxtaposed with some of the finest Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Francs that South Africa has to offer.
The Strauss & Co Fine Wine department is proud to offer wines from the Loire Valley in their current timed online auction, closing on Monday 8th of May from 6pm.
Rich in ancient limestone and silex soils, the Loire valley is known for their passionate, historic family producers, many of them farming organically, and forming the spiritual cradle of noble varieties including the likes of Sauvignon blanc in the famous appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in the continental east, through the Chenins from Vouvray, and Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Saumur further downstream to the west.
Brimming with variety and value, the catalogue includes highly collectable lots from acclaimed classics like Domaine Huet, Alphonse Mellot, Henri Bourgeois and Thierry Germain, while also offering some lovely regional collections to explore the appellation.
Many of South Africa’s finest and most progressive producers are drawing inspiration from the Loire Valley in their championing of Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc on Cape soil. Strauss and Co includes highlights from Alheit Vineyards (including rare vintages of their esteemed single vineyard Chenins), Keermont, Raats Family Vineyards, Van Loggerenberg and more.
