‘Treat yourself. Order a few bottles. Don’t deny yourself. Yes, those prices are a fraction compared to other wine regions, as the Cape continues to offer unbeatable quality combined with affordability… Trust me when I say that in a decade’s time, you might well rue not grabbing some of these exceptional wines.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 2019 SA Report
