TOP REVIEWS BY CATEGORY

Prices are given in South African rand (R) per standard bottle size (750ml), unless stated otherwise, and are inclusive of VAT – prices as supplied by the producers, or approximate retail prices in South Africa if the producers are closed to the public – top wines may well be ‘sold out’ or increase in price after a stellar rating.

Note: AW = Auction Wine, EXP = Export Only, MC = Museum Class (typically ‘sold out’ at the winery, assessed to gauge development or longevity), and OL = Own Label (exclusive to particular retailer(s), not available from the producer).
