TBE John Platter South African Wine Guide has announced its Five Star Wines for 2006. The 11 five-star wines will be featured in the upcoming 2006 edition, available mid November.
The five stars for 2006 are Glen Carlou Syrah 2004, Rijk’s Private Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2002, Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 2000, Thelema Reserve Merlot 2003, Axe Hill Cape Vintage Port 2003, De Krans Vintage Reserve Port 2003, Kaapzicht Steytler Vision 2002 (red blend), Steenberg Vineyards Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2005, Steenberg Vineyards Semillon 2005, Vergelegen White 2004 (white blend) and the Sadie Family Palladius 2004 (white blend).
The announcement is the culmination of several months of intensive tasting by an inter-nationally experienced team of some 5 000 individual wines.
These were sampled and ranked according to the guide’s five-point scale, which ranges from 0 stars (‘Somewhat less than ordinary’) up to 5 stars (‘Superlative. A Cape classic’).
The recommended retail price is R119.95. Visit the website www.platteronline.com.
