De Toren, Z Director's Reserve 2017
R 1,000 per bottle
'This wine must surely rate as one of the best vintages of Z produced from the estate to date,' wrote Greg Sherwood MW on the De Toren Z 2017, scoring it 95+/100. The Z Director's Reserve however, is even more exceptional. Only produced in truly extraordinary vintages, the maiden release 2017 is a rare collectable and not to be missed.

City on a Hill, White 2019
R 265 per bottle
'Why aren't there more fans of South African white blends?' asks Master of Wine Tim Atkin. We're sure there will be after you taste this cuvée of Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Muscat d'Alexandrie. A double 95-pointer from Platter's Guide and Christian Eedes, not to mention the stunning label, what's not to like?

Pesquié, Silica Ventoux Rouge 2017
R 635 per bottle
From one of the finest producers in southern France, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, Château Pesquié’s single vineyard Silica offers exceptional finesse and elegance with remarkable depth of fruit. The blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Cinsault 'has a thrilling perfume of cherries, strawberries with a touch of Côte Rôtie-like floral notes,' rightly affording a score of 95 points from Jeb Dunnuck. With only 6 bottles left at R635 a bottle, we agree with Jeb's sentiment: ‘Jump on these before the prices catch up with the quality.’
