Summertime is here and we are ready as we can ever be. We thought we would indulge you in our Top 5 wine picks for the month of October.
This light and crispy prosecco can easily become a household favorite as it is easy to drink and thoroughly enjoyed on a hot summers’ day. If you are not too familiar with a Prosecco, this is the ideal candidate to stock up on in your Fridge. We both happen to stumble upon this great find without even looking. It’s a rare find and a definite must.
This Prosecco is currently a 3.5 Star Rating on the Vivino Wine App and is available right around your corner at a Woolworths for R159 per bottle.
- Wildeberg Meteorique MCC – 100% Chardonnay
This MCC has got us jumping for joy! It is bold with lots of flavours and nothing boring about this one if you like a full yet balanced MCC.
Vivino rates this beautiful MCC a 4 Star Rating and is available to buy directly from Wildeberg Winery at R290 per bottle. Wildeberg also won the Winery of the Year award in 2022.
This Sauvignon Blanc is the best value for money. Easy drinking, with crisp clean tastes of asparagus. It is great for pairing with any salad, pasta, fish or mediterranean dish. Klein Roosboom Jean is now available at the best price of R79 per bottle (which we think is a steal) from Getwine.co.za and gets a Vivino rating of 3.8.
- Creation – Sauvignon Blanc
This will always be a firm favorite Sauvignon Blanc from my side. After not having this wine in a really long time, I recently re-discovered it again and remembered why I so thoroughly enjoy it. It is a great example of a true South African Sauvignon Blanc and has lots of depth and flavor. It is more on the expensive side for a Sauvignon Blanc but if you are willing to spend in this range, we cannot recommend this wine enough.
Now R145 per bottle on Takealot with a Vivino rating of 3.9.
- Perdeberg Cellars – Malbec 2021
Last but not least is this beautifully rounded Malbec from Perdeberg Cellars. If you have never tasted a Malbec before or even if this is your favorite varietal, you will definitely enjoy this easy drinking red wine. It goes well with anything and can be enjoyed in both summer and winter time.
It scores a Vivino rating of 3.9 and is also available on Takealot for a case of 6 for R569 (Which we recon is a bargain.)
We hope you enjoy these beauties as much as we did! Let us know what your thoughts are on our Wine selection must-haves for the month of October.
