Three top South African wines from new generation of ‘fusion winemakers’

These are exciting times for South African wines as a new generation of winemakers come of age, according to Siobhan Thompson, chief executive of trade organisation Wines of South Africa. Master of wine Jancis Robinson agrees, describing what’s happening to the industry there as “feeling like a teen coming-of age movie. In the classroom of wine regions, it’s the kid who sits alone at lunch, wears weird clothes, but is still strangely confident, and manages to answer the teacher’s questions with aplomb.”
