About the Session

The Cape Heritage Red Wine Session features 25 lots from The Tabernacle – the famous underground cellar in Stellenbosch that houses some of South Africa’s most spectacular vinous historical treasures. All the lots from The Tabernacle have been recorked; each bottle was opened for inspection, under the protection of an argon gas blanket, and Strauss & Co fine wine specialist Higgo Jacobs along with Amorim tasted and assessed each wine. The wines were topped up with wine from the same vintage, recorked and resealed, all under the supervision of a technical team from Amorim Corks.

Critics Ratings

‘Rijk’s make some of the best Pinotages in the country, expressing the intensity of Tulbagh’s terroir in wines like this inky, profound, polished example. The oak is deftly handled, the fruit plush, smooth and floral with raspberry and bramble dominating the palate. 2020-26’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100
