AT THE TIME of writing, there were plenty of South Africa's highly rated wines priced at under R100 a bottle that were not yet sold out – highly rated by one or more of the top panels, with the prices, vintages and availability re-checked during the past few days. Included in the listing below are some that qualified for the SA Wine Classification on the basis of good track records (highlighted in RED). It's amazing that they haven't been snapped up already. Stocks must be down to the last pallet, if not the last few cases.
To jump to the top reds, whites, bubblies, pinks and sweets at under R100, click on the links below. For the names and vintages of every South African wine highly rated by one or more of the top panels in 2022, still on sale and priced at under R150pb, click here, and for details of the ratings, click here.
