About this Item
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
Critics Ratings
"Very consistent vineyard. Rich and broad. Quite glamorous." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2016)
"This concentrated white exhibits white peach, apple and lemon flavors, matched by vivid acidity and a mouthwatering profile. Hints of spice and mineral grace the lingering finish. Needs six months or so to relax." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jun 2016)
