TOP 10 TRENDING & POPULAR WINES IN SOUTH AFRICA
#1 Rupert & Rothschild Classique (2006, Blend) R109
Phinor: Has been resting for just long enough, but give it a breather first.
#2 Chardonnay Pinot Noir by Haute Cabriere (2011, Blend) R70
DougVining: Delicious fruity but dry and with a classy hint of wood. Blended from red and white but it's not pink. Great with seafood and summer breezes.
#3 Pierre Jourdan Tranquille by Haute Cabriere (NV, Blend) R55
Xlyxx: Fruity, very light. Almost seems too be missing something though. Not a first choice, but also not bad.
#4 Bush Vines Naturally Fermented by Cartology (2011, Blend) R199
WineGuru: Surfer Sex wax on the nose. Great oak integration and balance. Well done Chris.
#5 Sauvignon Blanc by Thelema (2011) R50
SueLewitton: Sour pineapple taste that hits the back of the throat before mellowing out. Waiter, bring me some ice!
#6 Pinotage by Beyerskloof (2011) R56
MrDragon182: Deep and dark plums on the sniff set an erotic tone. Taste is light and lingering. It's soft-core.
#7 The First Lady by Warwick (2010, Cabernet Sauvignon) R64
Wine-Swine: Lovely deep colour, berries and a hint of chocolate. Beautifully smooth but I think will last a few years. Great @ price +- R60
#8 Buiten Blanc by Buitenverwachting (2010, Blend) R50
Wine-Swine: Slight grassiness, hints of fruit (figgy). Old stalwart, there are other Sauv Blanc blends giving better value (eg: try Falgstone Noon Gun)
#9 Tradition Brut by Villiera (NV, MCC)
AntonyStiglingh: My first bubbly on RTW. Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles & deliciousness. Perfectly paired with Truffle & Bayonne ham croquettes. Fun stuff.
#10 Tamboerskloof Syrah by Kleinood (2007, Shiraz) R140
HolyManSA: Not overly wooded and very smooth! Went very well with a rib eye steak with cheese sauce.
