Waterford Antigo

A relatively new kid on the Waterford block, the Antigo is a smooth, Cabernet Sauvignon-driven red blend. The first vintage of the Antigo was so well received by the market that the wine sold out in just nine months. Waterford knows its way around Cabernet Sauvignon but this Bordeaux-style blend has a softer profile for those wine drinkers who don't enjoy the rough tannins of a traditional Cab.

Perdeberg The Dry Land Collection Fortitude Fortified Chenin Blanc

It was love at first sip when we tasted the newly launched fortified Chenin Blanc from Perdeberg in 2022. You will love the flavours of litchi, candied citrus and undertones of honeycomb. Sip slowly on its own, or serve with desserts, a cheese platter or butternut soup.
