Big Bottles, Big Moments: Wines in Magnum Format

There's a saying among wine connoisseurs: the bigger the bottle, the better the wine. And there's some truth to it! A magnum bottle, with its 1.5-litre capacity, is not only an impressive sight at any celebration but also enhances the wine's quality. Due to the larger volume, the wine matures more slowly and harmoniously, leading to greater complexity and a rounder flavour profile. In our collection, you'll find nearly 30 exquisite large-format wines – the perfect choice for dinner parties, as an unforgettable gift, or to treat yourself to a special moment.

A Variety of Styles in a Grand Format

Our magnum selection proves that size and variety go hand in hand. You'll find powerful and full-bodied red wines, often as elegant blends of grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These wines are perfect for long-term cellaring. Alongside them, fine rosés and characterful white wines like Chardonnay also shine in the 1.5-litre format. A special highlight are the world-famous dessert wines made from Muscat de Frontignan, which can unfold their full, complex aroma even better in a magnum bottle.

The Best Terroirs of South Africa

The focus of our magnum collection is clearly on South Africa. Renowned wineries such as Klein Constantia and Holden Manz are prominently featured. The wines come from iconic regions like Constantia, the cradle of South African viticulture, famous for its noble sweet wines. From the picturesque Franschhoek come many of our first-class red wine blends and rosés, which benefit from the region's unique terroir and Mediterranean climate.

Perfect Companions for Your Table

A magnum bottle is made for social gatherings and good food. Our robust red wine blends pair excellently with grilled meats, roasts, or an intense cheese. An elegant rosé or a fresh white wine in a magnum bottle is the ideal start to a party and accompanies light appetisers or fish dishes. And a glass of the legendary sweet wine from a magnum provides a grand finale to any feast, enjoyed on its own or with fine desserts and blue cheese.

For Special Occasions and Budgets

Great enjoyment doesn't have to be unaffordable. Entry into our magnum world starts at around €30. The majority of our range is in the mid-price segment, ideal for a high-quality gift or a special occasion. For true enthusiasts and collectors, we also carry exclusive and strictly limited magnum bottles in the higher price range, promising exceptional aging potential.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I buy a magnum bottle?

Magnum bottles (1.5L) allow the wine to mature more slowly and harmoniously, which often leads to a more complex taste. They are also a real showstopper at any party and perfect for sharing with friends and family.

How many glasses of wine are in a magnum bottle?

A standard magnum bottle contains 1.5 litres. This is equivalent to two normal wine bottles or about 10 glasses of wine (at 150 ml each).

What kind of wines do you offer in magnum format?

We offer a wide selection, mainly from South Africa. This includes powerful red wines and blends, elegant rosés, some white wines, and even world-famous dessert wines, especially from wineries like Klein Constantia and Holden Manz.

Can I age a magnum bottle for longer?

Yes, in general, wines in magnum bottles have a higher aging potential than wines in standard bottles due to the slower maturation process. However, the exact aging potential always depends on the specific wine.
