Red Discovery Case — Six Bottles, Six Stories
The Red Discovery Case is your invitation to explore the depth and diversity of South African red wine — from biodynamic Mourvèdre and cool-climate Cabernet Franc to a Platter’s 4.5-star Stellenbosch blend, a Michelangelo Gold Bordeaux-style red, a heritage Grenache and a juicy Bonnievale Cinsault. Six wines, six producers, six completely different stories — all hand-picked by the Vinty team and delivered to your door at prices you won’t find anywhere else.
Inside the Case
-
Waterkloof Circumstance Mourvèdre 2020 (100% Mourvèdre — Schapenberg, Stellenbosch)
Biodynamic, horse-worked, wild-yeast fermented. Harvested at just 2 tonnes per hectare, whole-bunch fermented in open-top wooden fermenters and aged 24 months in old barrels. Tim Atkin awarded it 92 points. Dark blackberry, graphite, dried lavender and a meaty, savoury depth — this is serious coastal red with a long, creamy finish. -
Groenland Antoinette Marie 2020 (Bordeaux Blend — Bottelary Hills, Stellenbosch)
Named after winemaker Kosie Steenkamp’s daughters — a Michelangelo Gold and Veritas award-winning blend from clay-rich granite soils on the elevated slopes of the Bottelary Hills. Rich dark fruit layered with chocolate, vanilla and well-integrated oak. A wine with family and heritage in every sip. -
Steel Wines Cinsault 2023 (100% Cinsault — Bonnievale)
Jason Steel’s playful, light-bodied summer red from a tiny 0.29-hectare vineyard beside the Breede River. Partial carbonic maceration preserves bright, crunchy red berry fruit, then 12 months in old French oak adds just enough depth. Juicy, vibrant and dangerously easy to drink — especially with a light chill. -
Cabernet Franc 2019 — Elgin (100% Cabernet Franc — Elgin)
Cool-climate elegance from one of the Cape’s most celebrated wine valleys. 100% open-fermented and aged 12 months in second-fill French oak. Vivid ruby in the glass, with perfumed red fruit, herbs and a touch of graphite on the nose. Fine tannins, racy acidity and a long, refined finish — a textbook expression of what Elgin does best. -
Metzer Family Mantra 2021 (60% Shiraz, 40% Cinsault — Helderberg & Firgrove)
Wade Metzer’s most personal wine — mentored by the legendary Eben Sadie, Platter’s awarded the Mantra 4.5 stars and 90 points. Just 215 cases made. An homage to the lighter-bodied, elegant SA reds of the 1960s: bright Cinsault fruit woven through spicy Helderberg Shiraz, whole-bunch fermented with wild yeast and aged in old oak. Silky, perfumed and utterly drinkable. -
Stettyn GWM Grenache 2025 (100% Grenache Noir — Breede River Valley)
From a family that’s been farming the Breede River Valley since 1714, this cool-climate Grenache delivers ripe strawberry, red cherry and raspberry with warm spice and white pepper. Part of Stettyn’s SAAF aircraft heritage range — named for the legendary “Growler” patrol aircraft. Silky texture, bright acidity and real depth.
Why You’ll Love It
This isn’t a random selection — it’s a curated journey through six of South Africa’s most exciting red wine styles, from six different producers across five regions. Whether you’re discovering new favourites, building your palate or just looking for brilliant reds at honest prices, the Red Discovery Case delivers. Every bottle would cost you significantly more bought individually — and some of these wines are exclusively available through Vinty.
Note: The contents of the Discovery Case may change from time to time as we discover new wines. The current selection listed here reflects this edition of the case.
Perfect Pairings
Six different wines means six different pairing opportunities. The Mourvèdre and Antoinette Marie love braised lamb, bobotie, and slow-roasted brisket. The Cab Franc is stunning with duck, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. The Mantra and Grenache shine alongside charcuterie, roast chicken and Mediterranean dishes. And the Cinsault? Honestly, it’s perfect with a braai roll, a pizza, or just a warm evening on the stoep. Serve the lighter reds (Cinsault, Grenache, Mantra) at 14–16°C and the bigger wines (Mourvèdre, Antoinette Marie, Cab Franc) at 16–18°C.
Our Guarantee
Every wine in this case is backed by our 100% Happiness Assured! Guarantee. If you don’t absolutely love it, we’ll arrange a full credit or refund — because discovering great wine should always be risk-free.
