What Comes In the Stellenbosch Selection
This monthly box is built around Stellenbosch fruit, with a carefully chosen mix that may include a white, red and seasonal sparkling wine depending on the month. The aim is to show what the region does well, from bright, mineral whites to structured reds and elegant bubbly. Each delivery is selected to feel familiar enough for regular drinkers, but interesting enough to spark a proper conversation at the table.
Boxes are packed for home use and work well for people who like to keep a few bottles ready for weekends, dinner guests or a quiet night in. The selection leans on local vineyards and small-batch producers, so each month can reflect harvest conditions, cellar style and the season's drinking mood.
Box Sizes and Subscription Options
The Stellenbosch Selection is available in practical monthly formats, so you can choose the box that suits your household or your tasting group. Most clients go for a standard mixed box, while others prefer a larger order for shared tastings, gifting or staff evenings. If you are setting up a recurring delivery, it helps to think about how many people will actually pour from it each month.
- 3 bottle box for light personal tasting and gifting
- 6 bottle box for couples, friends or small teams
- 12 bottle box for group tastings or regular cellar stock
- Single month order or rolling monthly subscription
- Home delivery across South Africa, including coastal and inland areas
For clients in Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Paarl, Somerset West, Constantia and further afield, the same box can be used for private enjoyment or for hosting a tasting at home. If you want a one-off month first, that is a good way to see whether the style suits your palate.
Where It Works Best
This box suits anyone who wants to learn the difference between modern winemaking and the more classic Stellenbosch style. It is popular for date nights, birthday gifts, end of year thank-yous and small business gatherings where the wine should be good without needing a whole event crew. It also works well for visitors who want to take home something local after a stay in the Cape Winelands.
The selection is especially practical for homes and venues with a neat storage area, because the wines arrive ready to chill or celler for later. If you live in a warm area or near the coast, keep the box in a cool dry spot away from direct sun. That matters in Durban and other humid areas where storage conditions can turn a good bottle tired faster than you expect.
- Private home tasting evenings
- Corporate gifts and staff rewards
- Birthdays and engagement celebrations
- Small group tasting clubs
- Food pairing dinners and weekend hosting
Delivery, Handling and Storage
No installation is needed for this product and no power or gas supply is required. The box arrives ready to open, with bottles packed for safe transport and normal home handling. On delivery, check that the outer carton is intact, the seals are unbroken and the bottles are at a suitable temperature before moving them into storage or the fridge.
For best results, store unopened wine on its side in a cool, dark cupboard or rack. If you are keeping sparkling wine for later, avoid hot laundry rooms, windowsills or car boots for too long. Load-shedding is usually not a problem for the product itself, but it does matter if you plan to chill bottles for same-day service, so give yourself enough time in the fridge or cooler.
Care, Serving and Tasting Notes
The bottles need no special servicing, but a little care goes a long way. Serve whites and bubbly well chilled, then allow reds to open up before pouring. A simple glass set, an ice bucket and a clean serving space are enough for a good evening at home. If you are pairing the wines with food, the box usually gives you enough variety to move from lighter starters to richer mains.
- Chill white and sparkling wine before serving
- Decant structured reds if they need air
- Keep leftover wine sealed and cool after opening
- Use clean stemware to avoid affecting aroma
- Note which styles you enjoyed for future months
Each month is meant to build your confidence as a drinker, so the tasting notes are practical rather than intimidating. Expect useful detail on style, balance, food match ideas and when to drink the bottles at their best.
What to Check Before You Order
Before placing an order, check the number of bottles you want, the delivery address and whether the box is for your own use or a gift. If you are hosting a tasting evening, consider how many guests will pour from the box and whether you need an extra mixed case. It also helps to think about storage space, especially if you already have other bottles in the house and do not want them all sitting in the same warm corner.
For corporate orders or event planning, confirm the date, venue and delivery instructions early. In towns like Johannesburg and Durban, clear access details help avoid delays, while in the Winelands a gate code or reception note can save time. If you are ordering for a birthday, wedding or team function, make sure the delivery date lands with enough time for chilling and setup.
