Boutinot International

We love some happy news on a Friday! And what's better than high scores across the board from James Suckling for our Domaine Boutinot wines?

🥳

As our flagship range from our first Home, the Fide et Arte wines hold a special in Boutinot's heart. The product of many years of hard work and devotion, we think the wines are exceptional and are very proud when industry experts agree.

❤️

A full run down of all the awards our wines have won so far this year is now available in our blog. Follow the link in our bio to find out more!

Introducing Sub Tropika New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

🌴

Inspired by the vastly diverse climates of New Zealand, from subtropical in the north to maritime in the south, we've taken the best fruit from different plots to create a bright, citrussy Sauvignon.

🏖️

A perfect summer wine. Get in touch for more information or to request samples.

A few snaps from a trip to the Languedoc to visit some of our own production vineyards and meet the dedicated vignerons who tend to them.

Introducing Rib Tickler Zinfandel!

🐮

The Rib Tickler range has grown year on year since launch, so it made sense to add this incredible wine to the mix.
Made mostly from old-vine Zinfandel, it's fruity and juicy, while small additions of Petit Sirah and Teroldego add dark fruit and floral spice. Made for food, this wine shines alongside slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket or pulled jackfruit tacos.

A fantastic result for Wild House Chenin Blanc at the 2024 Sakura Awards in Japan.

💎

The awards focus on wines that pair well with Asian cuisines, so winning multiple medals shows the versatility of this Chenin Blanc. Bright and textural with hints of honeydew and citrus, this is a delightful expression of South Africa's backbone variety.

🍾

We would like to thank the judges and everyone involved in the organisation of the competition, and also say congratulations to all the winners.

🥂

Introducing Wildeberg Terroirs Chardonnay.

⛰

The Terroirs collection is an expression of the most exciting vineyard blocks we work with in the wider Coastal Region, sourcing from old vines and, of course, searching for new wines, too.

🗺

This is a single vineyard Chardonnay from the Banghoek ward of Stellenbosch where the granite soils are flecked with quartz. Made in true Wildeberg fashion with natural fermentation and minimal intervention, the wine spends 10 months in oak before bottling.

🍋

Poised and balanced with citrus and young stone fruits, the beautifully integrated oak gives hints of spice alongside flinty minerality.

Available now FOB Cape Town. Get in touch for more information, or to request samples or arrange a tasting.

One of our most popular Argentinian wines, Turno de Noche Malbec, has had a label refresh.

🌕

One of our best-selling wines in over 10 countries, we felt that it was time to give the label a more contemporary feel and luxurious finish. Using bronze foil, stamping, and a higher-weight, textured paper better reflects the quality of wine inside the bottle, while also responding to the consumer trend for premiumisation.

🏢

In the words of designer "Turno de Noche revolves around the idea that the night is an evocative time when anything is possible. Sometimes it happens to me that, when I walk at night, I look at the buildings and each light that emanates from a window suggests a different story to me. Behind that light there may be bustle, or an intimate moment, or perhaps reflection, or a party. As I say, during the night shift, anything is possible. Therefore, I wanted a suggestive design, a little mysterious and elegant, with those golden details.”

⭐

Join us at ProWein, Hall 14 stand H50, to see the new label and taste the wine.

Coming soon! Uncorked Issue 6.

- 25ml Copper Canvas Vodka
- 25ml Coffee Liqueur
- 25ml Copper Canvas Salted Caramel Malt Liqueur

The last Friday of the year seems like a good time to pop open some bubbly!

🍾

For consumers who don't want to over-indulge, or who are looking to ease themselves into Dry January, these low abv bubbles are ideal.
Les Fleurs Blanches (11.5% abv) is an Organic Vin Mousseux made in a vibrant and youthful style for easy drinking.
Luce d'Oro (11% abv) is made in the same way as Prosecco but from Ribolla Gialla grapes, whose high acidity and ripe stone fruit flavours lend themselves perfectly to sparkling wine.

🥂

Both wines are available to collect from our one-stop shop hubs in Mâcon and Castel Boglione. Get in touch to order samples or arrange a tasting.

Day 24

🌟

DAY 22 🚗 Thank you ALL for another wonderful year of goodness and joy. Here’s some live CCTV footage as Boutinot head home for the Christmas season one last time. See you all next year 💫 Music: Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea 🎵 #BoutinotAdventCalendar #AdventCalendar #Wine #BoutinotWines #BoutinotInternational #DrivingHome #Christmas

Day 21

🌟

We asked the team for their favourite festive wine pairings with traditional foods from their own countries. Scroll through for a veritable feast from apéritif through to dessert.

🥨

Day 20

🌟

Sparkling wine is still booming, and consumers are always on the look-out for the next big thing. Why not offer some alternative South African festive fizz?

SKU Pét-Nat. The biggest trend right now in the world of sparkling wine. This wine is sustainably produced, naturally fermented, unfiltered, unfined Brut Nature.

Wildeberg Météorique, Blanc de Blancs MCC. Traditional method sparkling wine, South African style. A tiny production from the Cape.

🥂

Day 18

🌟

We asked the team to give us their favourite festive wines. Product Manger Kate chose Wildeberg Red:

"I just love this wine so much. It’s such a gem in the portfolio with this incredible palate. For me it should be the star on the dinner table if you’re having game birds such as goose or duck, or with the darker meat from your roast turkey (the best bit!), as well as loads of stuffing with dried cranberries and sage."

Cheers, Kate!

🍷

Day 17

🌟

We're going bigger than ever at Wine Paris 2024. As well as our French wines, we'll also be showcasing a selection of our Old, New and Next World wines, with winemakers and account managers on hand to answer all your questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

🌟

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from everyone on the Boutinot International team!

🥳

Day 15

🌟

We asked the team to give us their favourite festive wines. Account Manager, Charlotte, chose Domaine Boutinot Les Six:
"It goes perfectly with Beef Wellington. It's full-flavoured with dark fruits and a lick of spice, yet also has a lifted and fresh elegance."

Cheers, Charlotte!

🥂

Day 14

🌟

We asked the team to give us their favourite festive wines. Product Manager, Kate, chose Avamposti Altrove Nebbiolo:

"A great example of a bright, expressive, and modern take on Nebbiolo. A fresh and easy-drinking style. Because of the juicy cherry, subtle floral notes and softer tannins, I would have this with something special like Venison carpaccio or confit duck with lentils."

Cheers, Kate!

🥂

Day 13

🌟

13 might be unlucky for some, but not for whose flagship range has been showered with gold medals from the Global Liqueur Masters and Global Vodka Masters. Congratulations, team! 🥳

🍸

Day 12

🌟

We asked the team to give us their favourite festive wines. Product Manager, Julie, chose Wildeberg White:

🌟

The team at Wildeberg have had an incredible year of awards and accolades. The highlight was winning Winery of the Year from Winemag.co.za for the second year in a row.
