Hello,

I'm enquiring on bahalf of a friend who is helping with a South African
theme party. Can anyone recommend some good wines from this country to
try ?

Thanks so much
Steve

The '98 Rubicon from Meerlust is readily available and quite ready to drink
from an excellent vintage.

Mulderbosch Sav. Blanc
Meerlust Rubi or Merlot
Vergelegen Cabernet
Kevin Arnold Shiraz
Plasir de Merle for anything they make
Saxenberg Private Collection Shiraz
Slaley Pinot/Shiraz
Beyerskloof Pinotage (just because it is - or was I haven't had it in
years - a benchmark Pinotage)

Don't know where you are based, but in the UK I use these guys a bit:

Enjoy.

I just had one I liked. It's called "Rust En Vrede" from
Stellenbosch. It's a Cabernet-Shiraz with a dollup of Merlot stirred
in. One negative, this was a 2000 and it really needs a few more
years in the cool end of the basement before it's ready. Perhaps there
are earlier years that are also good.
