LESS THAN R100 a bottle for one of the most consistently highly rated wines over the past 10 years might seem impossible, and yet… While the majority of the 132 Best of The Best in the 2024 South African Wine Classification are priced at over R350 a bottle with 40+ over R500pb, there are 22 at under R250 (see below), of which 14 are under R200 with three of these under R100pb!
