Fish Hoek Sauvignon Blanc 2009
WO Western Cape $9.95 (129726) 12.5% alcohol
Bistro-styled and balanced, it deserves a spot in your cart. There’s a lovely wash of crowd-pleasing flavour on the palate with tropical fruit, citrus and melon predominant. It’s mid weight, nicely textured with a refreshing fruity finish. Perfect for sipping on the patio, balcony or deck, it has the oomph to pair well with seafood, both fish and shellfish.

Fish Hoek Shiraz 2009
WO Western Cape $9.95 (129734) 14.5% alcohol
Here’s that hidden gem someone else always brings to the party—now it’s your turn to be the frontrunner. It’s fresh, lively and chockfull of rich fruity flavour—red cherry/berry, spiced black plum and hints of cassis. It’s balanced with good mouth feel and a deliciously long finish—a food-friendly crowd-pleaser at a great price. What’s not to like? (Vic Harradine)
