South Africa wines for the World Cup football season…

World Cup Fever hits wine sales….

…it’s true – only a few months ago, the first ‘upset’ of the season occurred in the UK wine market …sales of South African wine actually over-took sales of French wine for the first time ever!!

UK wine drinkers have discovered that South African wines offer something truly unique: a style that sits at a delicious halfway house between the out-and-out fruitiness of the New World and the restrained elegance of the Old World.

To celebrate the fact, we’re offering 10% off our superb ‘Kirabo‘ Private Cellar range of wines, from the Breedekloof Valley in South Africa - we have a thirst-quenching Chenin Blanc, a light pink Pinotage Rosé and a crisp  Chardonnay Reserve at all below £7.30 …the range then opens into the exclusive Platinum Collection ..click here for more details…and use the coupon code ‘WorldCup‘ to claim the 10% discount when ordering.

Also below, you’ll find a selection of some of our newest wines that you may not have seen yet ….a great semi-sparkling ’06 Rosato, a light, crisp ’07 Pinot Grigio and a ‘Pink Blush’ Pinot Grigio ….all perfect for some warm summer evenings!
