The Return Of The Doddie!

Doddie Weir & Schalk Burger

£150.00

per case of 6

Schalk Burger & Sons and Sporting Wine Club have been proud to have worked with Doddie Weir OBE to create Doddie’5 Red Blend – a magnificent Bordeaux Blend raising funds for MND. Now we continue in his memory and in the fight against MND. Read the story behind the wine here

This exquisite red Cape Bordeaux blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot to create a wine where the whole far surpasses the sum of its parts. It reveals an enticing bouquet of delicate dried herbs, ripe black plums, earthy blackcurrants, vibrant cedar spice, and a subtle, brûléed oak nuance. On the palate, the wine is equally captivating, offering a luscious creaminess and silky texture balanced by refined tannins and an effortlessly accessible style. The finish is bright and weightless, with brambly black berry fruit that lingers beautifully. Youthful and exuberant, this wine already delights with both character and elegance — a fitting tribute to the man it honours. Best enjoyed now or cellared for up to eight years and beyond.

Earthy, Velvety & Smokey

Tasting Notes: Magnificent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with red, savoury meats, grilled or roasted. As well as Hard British territorial cheeses such as Cheshire and Red Leicester or a Scottish Anster.

Description

In proud collaboration with the late Doddie Weir OBE, Schalk Burger & Sons and Sporting Wine Club created Doddie’5 Red Blend — a magnificent Cape Bordeaux-style wine crafted to support the fight against Motor Neurone Disease. While Doddie is no longer with us, his spirit, strength, and legacy live on in every bottle.

This exceptional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot is a true expression of harmony — where each variety contributes to a wine that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Bold, elegant, and full of character, it’s a fitting tribute to a remarkable man.
