Beaumont Wines, Chenin Blanc (Bot River, South Africa)
A stunning example of South Africa’s signature white grape. Crisp green apple, pear, and honeyed citrus give way to a fresh, mineral-driven finish. It’s the perfect all-rounder – great on its own or paired with seafood, light pasta dishes, or creamy goat’s cheese.
Painted Wolf, The Den Pinotage (Swartland, South Africa)
Pinotage is uniquely South African, and this bottle is a brilliant expression of the grape. Juicy black cherries, plums, and a subtle smokiness make it a fantastic match for BBQ dishes, grilled mushrooms, or a rich, mature cheddar.
Rook en Spieels, Waas Semillon (Franschhoek, South Africa)
A beautifully textured white with notes of citrus, beeswax, and a hint of spice. It has a creamy depth while staying fresh and lively. Try it with roast chicken, Thai curries, or a nutty, hard cheese like Gruyère.
SAAM Cinsault (Paarl, South Africa)
Light, silky, and fruit-forward, this Cinsault is all about fresh raspberries, summer berries, and a gentle floral lift. It’s a top choice for charcuterie, roast duck, or a creamy brie.
Strange Kompanjie Old Vine Palomino (Piekenierskloof, South Africa)
From gnarled old vines, this rare Palomino is bright, textured, and salty on the finish. Expect almond skin, fennel, and a touch of jasmine. Perfect with seafood, asparagus risotto, or a tangy Manchego.
The Winery of Good Hope, Oceanside Cabernet Merlot (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
A classic Cape Bordeaux-style blend with ripe blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of cedar. Plush and velvety, it’s a natural fit for roast lamb, mushroom risotto, or an aged Comté.
