Wine with Leslie: South Africa's classy cape has delicious wine offerings 

South African Wine

South African wines probably don’t appear here as often as they should, certainly not as often as fans of that country believe they should. Fans of South African wine I’ve noticed rarely want to drink anything else, and it is true that the good stuff is outstanding.

And we should buy more as given the less than stable economy, the winemakers there really are reliant on the export markets to turn a profit or even break even. I’ve mentioned producers like BLANKBottle, Mullineux, Sijnn and Paul Cluver before and of course Delheim (O’Briens) and Simonsig. This week however I have some new wines for you to try including a couple of new Lidl wines that are very much entry level but still manage to punch above their price point.
