With 5 stars in the Platter’s 2024 SA Wine Guide, this Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is the one to bring out for special celebrations. Fruit forward – delicious fresh black fruits, and firm tannins assist in creating a voluptuous, creamy mouthfeel which is balanced by a long, appetising finish. Enjoy with beef fillet with a cream and peppercorn sauce, or springbok ravioli with butternut. R330

Baked in the oven, pan-fried, grilled or smoked. No matter how it is prepared, salmon is always delicious. And to take it to the next level … serve with a glass of Muratie Isabella Chardonnay. This full-bodied, subtly oaked Chardonnay – with an enticing peach-blossom fragrance, ripe stone fruit, melon and citrus flavours with hints of hazelnuts and vanilla cream perfectly complements the richness of salmon. R280

The exquisite next vintage of Cavalli Chardonnay 2023 has been released … a burst of bright tropical flavours and delicate white stone fruit – zesty lime, tangy orange, and juicy nectarine with a tropical hint of pineapple and mango, along with a touch of delicate spice and vanilla and buttery brioche. R210

The vegan-friendly Journey’s End V1 Chardonnay 2022 is elegant, refined, with a gorgeous aromatic freshness (think citrus with vibrant lemon and lime notes and hints of floral orange blossom), and a silky smooth palate – with subtle coconut and peach notes. R195. From the same estate, the V3 Shiraz 2020 is an easy-drinking wine with an expressive aromatic delivery of blackcurrants and violets with notes of white pepper and dried coriander. Generous oak aging in larger format barrels allowed the vineyard character to shine, with great natural acidity and a silky long-lasting finish. R218
