Fresh but creamy with layers of orange blossom, toast and citrus, this Chardonnay offers a vibrant, multifaceted character at a very reasonable price. Minerality lifts the fruit and gives the white a food pairing advantage.

Gamy accents add character to the bouquet of this wine, which is otherwise dominated by black cherry and plum flesh aromas. The lively fruit continues in the clean mouth, while the finish offers a touch of chocolate cherry flavor.

A nose of fennel, mocha and plum, followed by a burst of earthy smoked meat, blackberry and cherry flavors, give this wine a masculine edge. Not overly complex but certainly enticing, the wine is both rich and sensible, and will pair well with BBQ, lamb and spiced meat dishes.

This lively Chardonnay starts with lemon, lime and pear on the nose, followed by a terrific combination of crisp citrus fruit and oaky, white fruit roundness. Elegant but fun, it’s a perfect food wine. Think spicy ethnic cuisine, grilled seafood, salads.

Many good bargains like this interesting Shiraz can be found from the Robertson region. Vanilla and leather play large roles, with Provençal herb aromas and flavors of purple fruit. Firm tannins and a hint of sweetness keep high acidity in check. Imported by Cape Classics.

A big, jammy Shiraz with dark fruit and smoke on the nose and pronounced berry flavors that are dense and mouthfilling. Acidity and tannins balance out the weight.
