The customers’ reviews on the Woolworths’ website say it all about this vino – in a nutshell, they are all very into this shiraz.

Our pick this week:

Saronsberg Life Is Fine Shiraz

R179.99, Woolworths

Why we love it:

Given that it’s Women’s Day on Saturday, let’s give a nod to the people actually making the wine. Daniela Jansen of Saronsberg has crafted something quietly brilliant, exclusive to Woolworths. Think dark berries, a little spice and a velvety finish that feels like a deep exhale. As she puts it: “A reminder that life really is just fine.” Quite right.
