| Winestyle has discussed Pinot Grigio fairly often since our launch. This is a delicious example of a variety everyone is growing to love, and it goes with everything, or just with a summer sunset. It's the ultimate quaffing wine. |

| Who'd have thought, a wine for R60 from this posh label? And Thembi scored it 10 out of 10, not knowing what it was. Give it a go, I suggest the Peri Peri prawns with it. |
