It's been a long hard road for the South African wine trade to become the exciting place it is today. The once widespread production of inexpensive, inferior wines have made way for smaller volumes and higher-quality wines, partly via the rise of maverick winemakers such as Eben Sadie and Adi Badenhorst who have not only helped to establish the Swartland as a new, cult Cape wine region but firmly planted South Africa on the global fine wine map.There are so many delicious, high quality wines coming out of South Africa now and thankfully more and more of them are starting to find their way here to New Zealand.

The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
