South African Red Wines
The region of Stellenbosch continues to dominate our selection of red wines from South Africa. Rustenberg are in fine form with the John X Merriman Bordeaux blend offer great value with Peter Barlow perhaps the finest of all cape Cabernets. The long established Delheim Estate is an excellent source of Shiraz with the cuvee “Vera Cruz” rated very highly. The Steytler family at the Kaapzicht Estate produce award winning Pinotage, but the “Bin 3” blend is tremendous wine. On the coast at Walker Bay Bouchard Finlayson create the sublime Gaplin Peak Pinot Noir with Paul Boutinot producing wine of tremendous appeal from the Coastal Regions under the Paarl Heights and False Bay labels.
