De Wet Cellar Muscat D'Alexandrie 2024
De Wet Cellar is one of the historic cornerstones of South African wine, established in 1946 and holding the distinction of being the oldest co-operative cellar in the Worcester district. Nestled in the expansive Breede River Valley, just north of Worcester in the Western Cape, the estate benefits from warm days and cool nights on fertile, irrigated soils - conditions that help grapes like Muscat d’Alexandrie achieve rich, ripe flavours while retaining freshness.
Rather than chasing flash techniques, De Wet Cellar blends tradition with solid winemaking fundamentals. It produces a wide range of wines - from everyday table wines to dessert styles - all reflecting the generous, sun-kissed terroir of the region. For this Muscat D’Alexandrie, fully mature grapes are used to craft a sweet wine that’s approachable, expressive and rooted in South African vinous heritage without unnecessary complexity.
Colour: A warm, honey gold in the glass, hinting at sweetness and richness.
Nose: Clean Muscat aromatics lead, with lively notes of orange blossom, ripe apricot and citrus peel; subtle raisin and floral nuances add complexity without heaviness.
Palate: On the palate this wine shows a lush, sweet profile underpinned by juicy fruit flavours - think tangerine marmalade, honeyed peach and a touch of raisin. The texture is smooth and rounded, with balanced acidity that keeps the sweetness fresh rather than cloying.
Finish: The finish is gently lingering, with residual fruit sweetness and a final impression of citrus zest and honey that invites another sip.
- Food Pairing : De Wet Cellar Muscat D’Alexandrie 2024’s sweetness and lively aromatics make it a versatile companion at the table. Try it with a classic malva pudding and warm custard - the honeyed fruit notes will echo the sweetness of the dessert without overpowering it. It also complements a rich cheese board with blue-veined cheeses, quince paste and nutty crackers, where the sweetness contrasts the savoury, creamy elements. For something lighter, pair with grilled apricots drizzled with balsamic reduction; the acidity will refresh your palate between sips. Sweet wines like this work best when they either mirror the sweetness of food or provide a refreshing contrast.
