Restless River
An animation-entrepreneur-turned-winemaker, Craig Wessels has taken the South African wine scene by storm since the first commercial release of Restless River in 2012. Now encompassing a portfolio which also includes Pinot Noir and Grenache, it is still their "world-class" Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon that impress critics the most.
Rising quickly to “Second Growth” status in Tim Atkin MW's South African classification (in less than a decade), Wessels and his wife Anne are seen as the leading lights of the cool and maritime Hemel-en-Aarde region in Walker Bay. Not only have their outstanding and serious wines pushed the boundaries of Hemel-en-Aarde, but they have also redefined the region as more than a just "value option".

(6x75cl) 2021Tim Atkin MW (96)
"I fell in love with Chardonnay through Chablis," says Craig Wessels and you can see that influence here. Reflecting the coolness of the 2021 vintage, this is taut, focused, stony and engagingly mouth-watering, with effortless concentration, notes of brine, lanolin and lemon juice and extra layers of complexity from old barrels and amphoras.保税价格￥ 1,882.00
