The wines featured this week are all South African

South African wine doesn’t feature on this page all that often for the simple reason that there is not that much imported here compared to other countries, and a lot of what I have tasted is either not worth writing about, or is too expensive for the quality.

As always, there are lots and lots of exceptions and the best producers make wines that will hold their own against anyone anywhere but as with all quality wines you will need to spend a little more.

South Africa is in fact leading the way in some very fashionable areas including the natural wine movement and organic production.
