In the latest issue of Wine Spectator, James Molesworth pronounces South Africa as offering one of the most exciting line-ups of any major wine region today and picks Gavin Bruwer and Bruwer Raats as leading the way with their new venture B Vintners Vine Exploration Company.<\/p>\n

Established in 2015, the new label concentrates on cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay \u2013 quite a significant departure from Raats\u2019 traditional focus of Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc.\u00a0 This venture has taken the winemaking duo on a vinous journey of discovery looking for unique vineyards and special terroir.<\/p>\n

The 2015 B Vintners Black Bream Pinot Noir (Walker Bay Terroir Special) topped Wine Spectator\u2019s list of top twenty eye-opening wines in the country.\u00a0 Molesworth scored the wine 93 points and described it as \u201cgorgeous with light cinnamon, black tea and powdered star anise notes inlaid into a streamlined and silky core of crushed cherry and raspberry fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The B VINTNERS Fire Heath Chardonnay (Walker Bay Terroir Special) scored 91 and impressed with its \u201cdelicious creamy feel, with alluring creamed peach, yellow apple and green almond notes with well-embedded acidity.\u201d\u00a0 Both the 2015 Haarlem to Hope (Stellenbosch), a blend of Chenin Blanc, S\u00e9million and Muscat d\u2019Alexandria, and the Reservoir Road Pinot Noir scored 90 points.<\/p>\n

According to Gavin Bruwer Slabbert, they are on a quest to celebrate the wine heritage of the Cape of Good Hope.\u00a0 \u201cWe explore unique vineyard parcels to craft distinctive terroir specific wines from historic Cape varieties. \u00a0We believe that heritage helps us to better understand where we have come from and guides our decisions to lead to a future of hope. It is certainly gratifying that our vision is being recognised on a global level,\u201d mentions Slabbert.<\/p>\n

The rest of the top 20 line-up also included the 2016 Raats Original Chenin Blanc (91) and the 2014 Raats Old Vine Chenin Blanc (90).<\/p>\n
