Wine of the Month

Wine of the Month Since 1986, we help you discover wine. Our panel carefully tastes & curates over 3000 wines a year so that we can deliver only the finest wines to you.

In 1986 Colin Collard started Wine of the Month with the idea to help wine lovers discover the very best wines at the very best prices. Wine of the Month is the only wine store in South Africa to have an independent panel of wine judges. The panel tastes over 2,000 wines each year. Each wine is judged in a blind tasting. This means no judge ever sees a label. You can buy the best of these red and

white wines online. Or, if you prefer give us a call and our wine advisors will gladly answer any questions you may have over the phone. All wines are conveniently delivered direct to your door by our friendly drivers. We supply wine direct to over 40 000 customers throughout South Africa and its neighbouring countries.

Meet Clifford Collard (), the MD of Wine-of-the-Month Club. 🍷

Cliff is the son of Colin Collard, who started Wine-of-the-Month Club in 1986. Founded 38 years ago, the Club has changed a lot, but one thing remains constant. Having a panel that blind tastes and selects all the wines for Club members.

“Our panel of independent wine experts tastes over 3000 wines a year. They taste the wines blind. So they don’t know who made the wine, how pretty the label looks or what the price tag says. They focus on one thing and one thing only—how it tastes in the glass,” says Cliff.

Included in the box is the seasonal newsletter and neck tags for the bottles with tasting descriptions and food pairing suggestions, when best to enjoy the wines, etc. 🥂

This is a great way to start your journey into exploring the world of wine—or enjoying a regular selection of superior wines—without purchasing “plonk” and wasting too much money.

Why stop at wine? We have multiple Clubs to consider joining. Everything from Coffee-of-the-Month Club, Brandy and Whisky Clubs… not to mention our much loved Olive Oil Club. There really is something for everyone.

Browse our website, www.wineofthemonth.co.za and we’re sure you will find a regular supply of something you love.

12/06/2024

As a varietal, Malbec creates a rather inky red (or violet), intense wine, so it is also commonly used in blends, such as with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to create the red French Bordeaux claret blend.

It ripens mid-season and can bring a very deep colour, and ample tannin. Malbec is very susceptible to various grape diseases and viticultural hazards — most notably frost, coulure, downy mildew and rot.

The Malbec grape is a thin skinned grape and
needs more sun and heat than either a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot variety to mature. 🍷
