Wines of Interest >  South Africa
The vines and mountains of Stellenbosch.South Africa continues to present us with an enigma. Maybe it's a corporate blind spot, but I don't think we're alone in the trade in finding this section something of a challenge. Don't get us wrong - we are very happy with the wines below and have every confidence that they really earn their place. It's just the sheer number of other wines we taste that miss the mark, not always by a long way and with the overall quality growing, but without any obvious "Buy me" factor. They can be technically correct, not obviously faulty, but there is a hard-to-define something that can frequently put us off. Perhaps it's a general lack of flair or all too occasional deftness of touch; maybe a tendency to be a little lumpen here, a little oily there….whatever it is, all too often the wines just don't sing. However Gary and Cathy Jordan break the mould with admirable consistency, and the Fairtrade trio from Thandi are modern, bright and good value. Thandi were the world's first Fairtrade accredited winery and we would urge you to discover more of their story through their comprehensive website.
