The latest Winemag Prescient Chenin Blanc report highlights a few new wines of exceptional value, including the Laibach Chenin Blanc Sur Lie 2019 (94pts) – a Wine Cellar favourite – and the 96pt Cavalli Filly 2020. The high praise for our Chenin Blancs has rightly caused prices of our very best to increase, but the good news is that it has also created healthy competition leading to higher quality and great prices.

Marengo, Dolcetto d'Alba 2019
R 265 per bottle
Dolcetto, translating to ‘little sweet one’ offers no reference to the sugar levels but as a descriptor to its youthful charm. Best enjoyed when young, this great-value wine is packed with dark and juicy red fruits, supported by phenomenal freshness which is quintessential to Piedmont. Unlike Barolo, you won’t have to wait decades to enjoy this wine.
