This week we’re in sunny South Africa, with a charming set of summer wines that punch well above their price. Top South African winemakers and leading brands are collaborating with UK supermarkets more and more. The result is that we get to enjoy the craft, innovation and character of outstanding bottles from the region for a fraction of the cost. Here are my favourite sips, among them a stellar vintage blanc de blancs fizz.
Made exclusively for M&S by cult SA winemaker Duncan Savage, this BBQ-ready red delivers damson and sloe berries and is perfect for anything charred.

Here’s an unoaked Chenin from old vines, with ripe apple, jasmine and a little white peach. Ideal with creamy chicken dishes.

A Provence-style blush at half the price, this Western Cape rosé, produced by Journey’s End, bursts with juicy strawberries and peach – irresistibly drinkable.

From a top Cape producer, this vintage fizz (think brioche, citrus and creamy finesse) rivals Champagne at third of the price.
