Really enjoyed this old bushvine Cinsault from #WelbedachtWineEstate whose GM Tiaan Burger pictured. From 32-year old vines on decomposed granite in the Groenberg ward nr Wellington. Seductive red fruit, silky tannins, 12% abv. Available Sporting Wine Club in UK. Hats off Schalk Burger

Champion #SouthAfrica winemaker David Nieuwoudt with his dog Tux. His #Cederberg Five Generations Cabernet 2021 one of SA's best reds. Beautiful tannin profile, multi-dimensional, 13.8% abv. A shoe-in for 5 stars in Platter
