My new series on the Vignerons de Franschhoek started yesterday with the bubbles from Le Lude. 🥂🍾💥 #finewinesafari @franschhoeksa @leludecapclassique Is there a better sight than a lobster raviolo at @chez.bruce ? I doubt it! #finewinesafari Crystallum is one of South Africa’s most compelling and impressive boutique wineries, founded by brothers Peter-Allan and Andrew Finlayson in the cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus. Since its establishment, the estate has built a reputation as a benchmark producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, wines that reflect a distinctly Burgundian sensibility while remaining unmistakably expressive of their local South African terroir. #finewinesafari @crystallumwines #archivecellar Full summary of critics scores now summarised ahead of the upcoming auction. Free and easy reference on a #finewinesafari at: At the heart of the Welbedacht Estate’s portfolio stands its flagship wine: Die Afrikaanse Patriot Kaapse Versnit, a Cape Blend crafted as a tribute to the Afrikaans-speaking community and its contribution to South Africa’s cultural landscape. The wine draws its name and meaning from the historic Groenberg school on the Welbedacht farm, a site closely tied to the early movement for the recognition of Afrikaans as an official language. Carefully composed from classic varieties in the tradition of award-winning Cape reds, the blend reflects the depth, complexity, and character of the Boland’s vineyards. @welbedachtwine @skallabrak55 @schalkburgerjr #wellington #groenberg @wosa_za @sportingwineclub #finewinesafari Evert-Gerard Rautenbach has a successful day job at the Lynx Winery in Franschhoek in the Western Cape. As a side hobby project, Evert makes a small amount of experimental single cultivar Marsanne sourced from a vineyard in Wellington. On a recent visit to Franschhoek, Evert gave me a bottle of the 2025 Marsanne to try, noting that while this vintage is almost sold out, he is even more excited by the quality and styling of the 2026 vintage. As always, I love to champion new wines and young talented winemakers, and Evert is certainly a name to keep an eye on. #finewinesafari @evertrautenbach The maiden vintage of @bubblesferreira drinking incredibly well. A solid 96/100 GSMW from a #finewinesafari. This is up there with the best Cap Classiques produced in South Africa! #capclassique #mcc #pieterferreira @rakq.uk Sexy new red field blend from @riebeekvalleywineco that’s super fresh, complex and juicy while still being quite serious. It’s a must try new addition from the Swartland. @wosa_za #swartland #redfieldblend The excellent new vintages from @winshaw_vineyards rated and reviewed. Top notch as always. @museumwines
