We’re sprinting into the new year with our first vinous recommendations for 2023! Keep the celebrations going with a super-expressive Grower Champagne by J.L. Vergnon, and don’t miss our perfect summer wine – the fresh and lively Lagar de Cervera Albariño 2021 from ‘the garden of Spain’. Vergelegen’s GVB White 2021 is pure class, while Waterford Chardonnay 2009 will pair well with your favourite summer dishes. Last but not least, Testalonga Keep On Punching 2022 is a smashable old-vine Chenin to buy by the case load.

Vergelegen GVB White 2021
R 440 PER BOTTLE
Few properties have as much pedigree and potential as Vergelegen, and the GVB White is consistently impressive. The 2021 shows a wonderful array of stone fruit and white floral notes leading to an exceptionally powerful, detailed palate. A wine worthy of its benchmark status in the South African ‘Bordeaux White’ category, this is a must-have.

Lagar de Cervera Albariño 2021
R 295 PER BOTTLE
La Rioja Alta’s Rias Baixas project, Lagar de Cervera, should be your focus for summer. Influenced by the cooling Atlantic breezes, their Albariño 2021 is precise and laser-focused, fleshed out by orchard fruit and white blossoms on the palate. This star white grape has ‘skyrocketed to popularity over the past quarter-century’, writes Wine Enthusiast, due to its deliciously bright fruit, salty minerality and energetic acidity. It’s a perfect summer wine and pairs incredibly well with seafood.

Waterford Chardonnay 2009
R 695 PER BOTTLE
Over the past decade, Stellenbosch Chardonnay has continually been on the up. Waterford has crafted a beauty from the powerful 2009 vintage that bears testament to fine Chardonnay’s ability to age well. It’s a wine of texture and length, with honey, nutty notes held together by a vibrant acidity. With its saline finish, this is an ideal food partner.

Testalonga Baby Bandito Keep On Punching 2022
R 170 PER BOTTLE
At just R170, what’s not to love about this old-vine Swartland Chenin by Craig and Carla Hawkins? The Keep On Punching just keeps punching above its weight. From vineyards planted in 1961, this 100% Chenin is a beautiful representation of fruit density and texture with a saline finish. Grab a case to keep chilled and always have this thirst-quencher ready to go!
