NV (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile Pieter Cuythoff humbly named the valley after his patron, Jan van Riebeeck, Riebeek Cellars feels it is only fitting that this wine, which expresses the best of its valley, should carry the name of its founder. So, in honor of Mr. Cruythoff, this range of fine wine bears his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBright red berry notes and a hint of spice is balanced by a luxurious texture \u0026amp; an elegant, lingering, dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay \u0026amp; Pinot Noir grapes are crushed together. To ensure an array of layered fruit flavors and to capture freshness, we use only free run juice from the crushed grapes. The juice is cold fermented with selected Champagne yeast, blend with a touch of ‘spicy’ Shiraz and then left on the gross lees for 6 months where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and develops the distinct sparkling wine flavors. After the wine is stabilized and filtered it is bottled with CO2 for a Charmat style sparkling wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect with a variety of dishes including rich chocolate desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTHE LEGEND\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDispatched by Jan van Riebeek in search of the perfect place to grow provisions for the Dutch East India Company, Pieter Cruythoff stumbled upon a beautiful valley. But it was more than just the scenic beauty of this valley that had caught his eye; situated in the lee of the majestic Kasteelberg, the winters were mild, the summers were hot and the soil was uncommonly fertile. What's more, ships spotted from the lookout point on Kasteelberg were just a day away from Cape Town, and so were the wagons that went to meet them, laden with the treasures of  the Riebeek Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eTIMELESS JEWELS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile he humbly named the valley after his patron, Jan van Riebeek, we feel it is only fitting that our valley's most coveted treasure should carry the name of its founder. So, in honour of Pieter Cruythoff, this range of fine wine bears his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the vibrant whites to the seductive reds, each one is a gem gently coaxed from the fertile soil of that same magical valley. Ironically, much of the valley's bounty still finds its way to Europe, and in particular to the Netherlands, the land of Cruythoff's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riebeek Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47704938479840,"sku":"130034","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/riebeek-cellars-pieter-cruythoff-brut-ros-and-1104_1.jpg?v=1756415794","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/riebeek-cellars-pieter-cruythoff-brut-ros-nv-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
