Best Wines - Playing Favourites

Trying to find the best 10 wines that stood out above all the others sampled during the course if the year is tough. WINE columnists Neil Pandock and Micheal Fridjhon joined stalwart pannellist and taster Dave Hughes and editor Fiona McDonald in selecting their 10 best of the best.

Pendock’s 2005 top 10
“The best wine in SA” according to Alluvia owner Delarey Brugman ay the Stellenbosch Wine Festifal, said with such intensity that you wanted to despreately believe it. And he tells you Ilka is a combination of Ilse and Karla, the names of his identical twin daughters, you’re emotionally corked if you don’t agree. If Brugman can motivate Okkert Brits to pole vault 6m and managed a dozen rugby Springboks in his previous career, a world –class Sauvignon should present no problem as soon as his vines get older. Especially if Bruwer Raats makes it.
