Excelsior Heritage Reserve Viognier 2024
The quality of wines coming from South Africa has never been better. The FT described them as "gorgeous, often underpriced". This is a full-bodied, lusciously spiced Viognier, with good freshness, from a 150-year-old family cellar in Robertson.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
