Top SA Wine Ratings

Every South African wine judged very good to world-class by the top tasting panels on the planet in 2023 and 2024. Scored 93+, gold and platinum medallists, trophy laureates. Just click on the name of the variety or type of wine to see all of the top-rated vintages in each category. Alternatively, see the SA Wine Classification highlighting the best track records over the past 10 years.

Top Reviews by Category

Prices are given in South African rand (R) per standard bottle size (750ml), unless stated otherwise, and are inclusive of VAT – prices as supplied by the producers, or approximate retail prices in South Africa if the producers are closed to the public – top wines may well be ‘sold out’ or increase in price after a stellar rating.

Note: AW = Auction Wine, EXP = Export Only, MC = Museum Class (typically ‘sold out’ at the winery, assessed to gauge development or longevity), and OL = Own Label (exclusive to particular retailer(s), not available from the producer).

SA Wine & Cellar Classification

South Africa’s most highly rated wines over the past 10 years –

 the best track records from 2014 to 2023 (inclusive)

The SA Wine & Cellar Classifications, updated annually since 2004, are based on the top ratings by the most respected panels locally and internationally when it comes to assessing wine quality and interest value in a ‘blind tasting’ environment – the identities of the wines and their producers withheld so as to avoid positive or negative bias in terms of brand status, the origin of the grapes and the location of the cellars.
