Do you live by the mantra less is more? This Woolies top 10 South African wine is one for people who like their bubbles clean, fresh and unfussy.

Our pick this week:

Le Lude Madàme Brut Millésime Blanc de Blancs

R849.99, Woolworths

Why we love it:

Le Lude’s Madàme Blanc de Blancs is made from chardonnay and has bright citrus flavours, a hint of toasted almond and that lovely bread-like richness you get from well-made sparkling wine. It’s very dry, finely bubbly and beautifully balanced, without being intimidating or overworked. Just a polished, grown-up glass of fizz that feels special from the first sip.
