Better than before… a buyer’s guide like none other

After over a year of ‘downtime’, Top Wine SA is being relaunched this month following a makeover and full maintenance service, so to speak. Now linked to this blog, it’s an online showcase of the best quality and best value South African wines that remains unique as a buyer’s guide. It’s about the who’s who among the country’s leading wine producers and features recommendations for anybody contemplating a trip on one of the wine routes in the Western Cape and beyond.



The annual SA Wine Classification points to the best track records in various categories as well as to South Africa’s best red wine cellars, best white wine producers and the best wineries overall. This on the basis of the previous 10 years’ blind-tasting results, labels out of sight – the collective opinion of over a dozen local and international tasting panels comprising expert wine judges from around the world.
The compendium of top South African wine ratings of the year is presented in alphabetical order within each category and together with the cost per bottle – ex-cellar prices mainly, otherwise approximate retail.
What was carried before remains in terms of information about the grape varieties, wine terms, tips and trivia. And yet it will always be a case of work in progress, with Editor Mike Froud and Webmaster Andrew Minter regularly dishing up one taste of good living after another.
