Uber Value 2021: very best South African wines at under R120 pb

THE VERY BEST wines of South Africa at under R120 a bottle in 2021. Recommended by the top panels of wine experts locally and internationally. Better than standard gold (some gold medals count more than others), even including a few platinum award winners and a couple of trophy laureates. 95 points or higher if scored out of 100 (scores of 90 to 94 generally equate to silver). Shining in the company of wines costing a lot more. Just click on the links below to jump to uber value whites, pinks, reds and sweet wines. Alternatively, click on the variety names or wine types to see all the top-rated vintages at all price levels over the past couple of years. For details of the accolades, click here. The prices are ex-cellar, although given their attraction, some of these good-value standouts might be sold out at the farms, in which case the retail merchants are where to go shopping.
* Wines with an asterisk next to their names are included in the SA Wine Classification, which gives reassurance that other vintages of these wines should be just as good.
