Van Loveren Red Muscadel 2024
Muscadel
Description
Van Loveren Family Vineyards, situated in the Robertson Valley, is one of South Africa’s most established family-owned estates, with a winemaking lineage spanning multiple generations. The region’s warm, dry climate and alluvial soils are particularly well suited to Muscat varieties, allowing grapes to achieve full ripeness and natural concentration - key to producing expressive fortified wines.
The estate’s approach balances consistency with accessibility, focusing on clean, fruit-driven styles that reflect both varietal character and regional identity. In the case of the Van Loveren Red Muscadel 2024, minimal intervention during fermentation and fortification allows the natural aromatics of Muscat de Frontignan to remain front and centre, resulting in a wine that is unmistakably Robertson in style - generous, aromatic, and approachable.
Colour:
Deep ruby with garnet flashes, showing richness and concentration in the glass.
Nose:
Lifted aromas of raisin, ripe red berries and Turkish delight, with hints of orange peel and spice adding depth.
Palate:
Full-bodied and smooth, with layered flavours of dried fruit, raspberry and caramelised sugar. The sweetness is pronounced but rounded, with a soft, mellow texture rather than heaviness.
Finish:
Long and lingering, with notes of raisin, spice and a subtle nuttiness tapering gently on the finish.

- Food Pairing : Van Loveren Red Muscadel 2024 is a natural partner to desserts and bold, flavourful pairings. It works particularly well with malva pudding or sticky toffee pudding, where its richness mirrors the caramelised sweetness of the dish. For a more traditional approach, serve it with mature cheddar or a creamy blue cheese - the saltiness cuts through the sweetness beautifully. It also pairs comfortably with fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream, or simply served slightly chilled on its own, where its smooth texture and raisined fruit character can be enjoyed without distraction.
