Quite how they can cram so much fruit into a bottle at this price is a bit of a mystery to me. Apart from that quandry, the wine is fabulous. The drinking-crowd will be pleased!

Paarl is slightly further North (hence warmer) than Stellenbosch & the grapes are riper & juicier as a result. 


Price:  £4.99 

This hugely popular wine has great intensity of flavour (pink grapefruit according to some folk) yet incredibly light & fruity.The ultimate South African Sauvignon Blanc. It is in Stelvin-screwtop to maximise freshness (just like most wines from NZ).  


Price:  £6.99 

Un-oaked & delicious. Superbly drinkable & particularly fine for the price. Made by Rustenberg estate in Stellenbosch.

Typical aromas are poached pears, white peach, winter melon and ginger spice. These are complemented by a well constructed palate that is rich and full flavoured. 


Price:  £6.99 

The nearest thing to a posh Loire Chenin (Vouvray, Bonnezaux, Coteaux du Layon) we've come across. Lush, smooth, mango & pineapple, finishing nice, lengthy and dry.

A one off vintage! 


Price:  £6.99 

An excellent easy-drinking, fruity white from the Franschhoek Co-operative.

Good value fruity/fresh/squeeky-clean & all-round damn fine day-to-day drink.
