We hope that the swathes of international VIPs gathered for the G20 this weekend are sampling all the finest goodies that South Africa has to offer, vino included. Might we suggest that they start with this little charmer …
Our pick this week:
Capensis Silene Chardonnay
R449.99, Woolworths
Why we love it:
The 2023 Capensis Silene is pure mountain magic – a blend of the estate’s Fijnbosch Vineyard and its high-altitude neighbours. Expect notes of lemon-lime, peach and citrus blossom, all carried on a wave of bright salinity and that signature mineral finish. Elegant, layered, and quietly luxurious.
