Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Made from a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Bacchus Red Blend offers up aromas of juicy, tart cherry, dried blackberry and cranberry on the nose before offering up subtle oak tones and baking spices with a sweet floral essence. Medium-bodied, this 13% alcohol wine offers lively acidity with flavors of red cherry skin, cinnamon-poached plums and dusty blackberry skin as tannins build in the mouth. The wine ultimately finishes with lingering elements of bitter dark chocolate and black tea. Only 20 barrels worth of wine were produced after spending two years in neutral French oak barrels.

Mont Blois , South Africa
The history of Mont Blois Wine Estate and the Bruwer family begins in 1869 when the first farm was bought. Six generations later, Ernst Bruwer now manages our three farms in Robertson: namely Mont Blois, La Fontaine and Sunshine. The Mont Blois Wynlandgoed cellar was built in 1884.

The farm is named after the picturesque town of Blois in the Loire where the Bruwers came from. Owner Ernst Bruwer took over from his Grandfather Ernst Bruwer Sr. He believed in sustainable farming and that older vineyards should be cared for.

Winemaker Nina-Mari and Ernst met whilst studying Viticulture & Enology together at Stellenbosch University. Nina-Mari joined the Mont Blois team in 2008. In 2014, Nina-Mari was awarded with the prestigious title of Cape Wine Master. The husband and wife team are passionate about making site specific quality wines.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
