Summer is in full swing and what better way to celebrate than with our favourite wines. We asked our team to curate a selection of their top picks for the holidays – and they didn’t disappoint. From crisp Riesling, delicious value Burgundy and seriously impressive old-vine Chenin to the perfect summer reds, there’s something for every palate.

Moya Meaker W.O. Elgin Riesling 2023
R 325 PER BOTTLE
‘It’s a Riesling summer this year and I am LOVING the 2023 from Moya Meaker, served with a sunset and a table full of tapas. While it’s drinking superbly now, this will age elegantly over the next 5 years too. You can feel the cool-climate core. It’s remarkably textured and bright with notes of lime, peach, fresh pears and pressed white flowers.’ – Lauren Segers

Joseph Drouhin Mâcon-Bussières Les Clos 2022
R 375 per bottle
‘White Burgundy for Christmas for only R375 – yes please! A chalky, floral, nuanced and downright delicious white from one of the most prestigious families in Burgundy, it’s an amazing introduction to the greatest Chardonnay region in the world. This is always one of my go-tos for the holidays when surrounded by family and friends.’ – Jolette Steyn

Roodekrantz Donkermaan Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2023
R 390 per bottle
‘For me, this is a candidate for wine of the year. SA is blessed with many exceptional Chenin Blancs, but tasting this was a mic-drop moment. A fine and elegant wine for special moments, enjoy it with delicate seafood this festive season.’ – James Pietersen

Les Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes 2021 375ml
R 395 per bottle
‘This will change your mind about Sauternes! Dessert wine only? Nonsense! December is summertime and the zippy acidities in these terrific wines make them so refreshing. Serve it ice cold as an aperitif, next to the braai, or as your main wine when you have a chicken roast or fish off the fire. 375ml makes it easy to share. Pull the cork and throw it away – you won’t need it again once the bottle is open.’ – Johan Malan

La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Reserva 2019
R 415 per bottle
‘Medium bodied, silky on the palate and packed with notes of red fruit and light spices, this wine is a personal favorite. It’s a must for every red wine lover and works beautifully with lightly grilled meats and fish. This pure Tempranillo from legendary La Rioja Alta is certainly worth experiencing.’ – Jack Davis

Restless River Le Luc Pinot Noir 2022
R 660 per bottle
‘From the rolling Hemel-en-Aarde hills, this earthy Pinot has immense fruit concentration on the palate and is the perfect pairing for both your meaty summer braais and favourite vegetarian dishes. A true jack of all trades. This reminds me of the classic Burgundian style of Pinot Noir that’s seldom seen in South Africa. Utterly poetic.’ – Aidan Brice
