1 Spier Creative Block 2 2018
This wine is a harmonious and pleasing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. It’s pale straw in colour with hints of lime on the edge, presenting a flavour explosion of fynbos and gooseberries with a tropical note of white peach and granadilla. R169.99
2 Beyerskloof Signature Series Beyers Truter Pinotage 2017
Beyers Truter has made some of SA’s finest Pinotage wines, so he was an obvious addition to Woolies’ Signature Series, a range I blend with winemakers who I feel are masters of a certain cultivar. This wine has layers of dark fruit and plum with tasty nuances of oak spice, while the palate is velvety with silky tannins and a lingering finish. R169.99
