AA BadenhorstSwartland, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A Southern Rhône-style blend from the Swartland, offering great value and versatility.
A perfumed, peppery red with ripe red fruit notes. The palate is supple and smooth, finishing dry and refreshing.
Pairs well with roast lamb, venison, and mushroom stroganoff.
Best known in Provence, Languedoc, South Africa
A soft, perfumed red grape from the south of France. Light in colour and tannin, with red cherry and floral notes. A key player in Provence rosé, and old vines in South Africa make lovely, silky reds.
Best known in Southern Rhône, McLaren Vale, Provence
Warm, generous and full of red fruit. Raspberry, strawberry, spice and a soft, ripe texture. The heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many rosés; in Spain the same grape is called Garnacha.
Best known in Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale
The Australian name for Syrah, and the style is often different. Rich and ripe, with blackberry, plum, chocolate and peppery spice. Bold, generous and often oak-aged, especially from the Barossa and McLaren Vale, with cooler regions giving a more peppery style.
South Africa
The heartland of South Africa's wine revolution. Old bush-vine Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Syrah grown on schist and granite. The natural wine movement found its South African home here — producers like Eben Sadie and Chris Alheit have changed the global conversation about what South African wine can be.
