This month, Ridgeback Wine Club members are in for a rare treat. Our latest release, Toit’s Favourites, is a hand-picked selection of wines by none other than Toit Wessels, our celebrated winemaker of 25 years. Carefully aged, personally chosen, and passionately crafted, this exclusive collection reflects Toit’s discerning palate and Ridgeback’s legacy of excellence.
Meet the Wines
Ridgeback Shiraz 2015
A bold and beautifully matured Shiraz showcasing intense spice, dark berries, and smooth, integrated tannins. A wine that has come into its own with age, representing the robust spirit of Ridgeback reds.
Ridgeback Signature C 2015
Rich, structured, and layered with complexity, this Bordeaux-style blend is a true cellar treasure. Signature C brings together classic varietals in harmony, with dark fruit and savoury notes shining through a velvety finish.
Ridgeback Cabernet Franc 2017 & 2018
Two vintages of our beloved Cab Franc side by side. The 2017 offers depth, spice and firm structure, while the 2018 shows elegance, freshness and minerality. A masterclass in vintage expression.
Ridgeback Chenin Blanc 2020
Lively and textured, this Chenin dances between citrus zest and tropical fruit, with a hint of honeyed richness. A white wine with serious charm and ageability.
Ridgeback Viognier 2020
Aromatic and plush, this Viognier is all about stone fruit, floral perfume, and luxurious mouthfeel. Perfect for lovers of expressive, food-friendly whites.
Why This Release Matters
Every bottle in this collection tells a story – of time in the vineyard, patience in the cellar, and Toit’s unwavering pursuit of balance and authenticity. These wines were selected not just for their quality, but for what they represent: a journey of craftsmanship, intuition, and quiet perfectionism.
