Sommelier Reserve
18L

World-Renowned Wines, World-Renowned Taste

For hundreds of years, a Sommelier (saw-muh-LYAY) was the person responsible for cellaring and serving wines to royalty and country dignitaries. Eventually, with the explosive growth in popularity of wine, the tradition of the Sommelier extended to restaurants and serving establishments. Although originally derived from the French word meaning butler, a Sommelier is a distinguished wine connoisseur who has extensive knowledge of wines and their suitability with various foods.

Our Sommelier Reserve wine collection not only honours the knowledge of the Master Sommelier, it also distinguishes itself from any other wine kit in the world. These are the top wines within their kit category and although the commercial wine world has not yet allowed us to enter our wines in their competitions, we have had accolades from Master Sommeliers and Judges from around the world.

The offering changes monthly so check back often. The 18 L kits offer you ultra-premium wines with incredible depth and taste; wines which will delight you, your friends and family. Each wine kit makes 30, 750 ml bottles of fine wine in eight weeks.
