1 THE POCKET-FRIENDLY PINOT DMZ
Pinot Noir, R109.99 Made by De Morgenzon in Stellenbosch, this wood-matured wine is an inexpensive find for lovers of Pinot Noir. It's a vibrant, fruity wine - expect ripe strawberries and characteristic savoury aromas, with berry flavours and silky tannins. Perfect for enjoying on its own or with a smoked salmon salad.
2 THE AFFORDABLE BORDEAUX BLEND
La Motte Grand Rouge, R79.99 This wood-matured, medium-bodied blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is made exclusively for Woolworths by La Motte in Franschhoek. Expect plenty of fruity, spicy aromas and a velvety smooth palate, just what you need when you're serving lamb (especially on the braai - the wine is a great match for charred flavours).
