Personal favourites

I have split my favourites into two categories, firstly my all-time favourites, which I would really recommend for anyone looking for something special, and at a budget of below R250 a bottle. Secondly, I have a list of budget favourites. These are not necessarily as good as the all-time favourites, but are really good value for money at a budget of below R60 per bottle.

All-time favourites for special events (at a budget of below R250/bottle):

1. Jordan Cobblers Hill 2005

2. Kaapzicht Steytler Pinotage 2003 and 2005

3. Kaapzicht Steytler Vision Cape blend 2003

4. Hartenberg Shiraz 2005

5. KWV Cathedral Cellar Merlot 2006

Everyday drinkers, exceptional value wines, at a budget of below R60/bottle:

1. Kaapzicht Bin 3 2006 and 2007

2. Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon- Shiraz 2005
