South African Fine Wine | The Great Wine Co.

South Africa Fine Wine

South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing countries. It is a land designed for grape growing, from the jagged mountainous coast to the rich, fertile inland river plains, which teem with wildlife, fruit and flower plantations. Its warm climate is cooled by sea breezes from the Atlantic and Indian oceans on either side resulting in a climatic range fit to accommodate the ripening needs of vines as diverse as Grenache to Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. South Africa’s winemakers constantly inspire us with their enthusiasm and innovation and efforts to support the country’s numerous empowerment projects, which educate, house and employ disadvantaged communities and make wine a unifying project for the nation. The diversity in terms of people and topography is reflected in wine style. There you can find Cabernet Sauvignon of ‘Super-Second’ Claret quality rubbing shoulders with the world’s finest Chenin Blanc, or a Shiraz of Hermitage-like proportions. A range which is as varied in style as it is consistent in scintillating quality.

The Gypsy

Ken Forrester Wines

The character is somewhat 'wild', a little brambly with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spices, with vanilla scents and a distinct, concentrated red-fruit focus. Great for laying down and keeping for at least ten years but already rewarding if allowed to... Read more

Dirty Little Secret Gift Box

Ken Forrester Wines

Tight, bright, minerally wine with texture and mouthfeel and an interesting hint of phenolic structure - like soft acidity and pear drop intensity. Built to age and gain complexity in bottle. We took a trip backwards in time to make a thoroughly modern... Read more

Chenin Blanc '6Chen'

Meinert

A subtle Chenin Blanc from two mature vineyard sites that is fermented inside a concrete egg. The nose shows promise, with suggestions of quince, pear and butterscotch; opening up to display a rich, toasty, mushroomy character. Rich and weighty, it is... Read more

Fabulously rich, complex and chocolatey, this is the deepest and most powerful of Martin Meinert's wines, and yet it retains the hallmark 'family likeness' of beautiful elegance and balance. It has an amazing velvety texture that fills the mouth, yet... Read more

White Merlot 'The Italian Job'

Meinert

This is an utterly delicious white that tastes very much like barrel-fermented Chardonnay - perhaps from Burgundy. It is rich and sumptuous, with creme anglaise, pineapple, butter and delicate wood character. Intense, with a sustained, flavoursome finish... Read more
