The Buyer
Well, this is a bit different. Rather than our usual round-up of all the best stories that have appeared on The Buyer over the last week, we are doing the same, but this time bringing together all our coverage of today’s (Wednesday, 11 October) New Wave South Africa tasting that is taking place in London.

It’s fitting to be trying out a new way of compiling, collating and pushing out content to the trade with this new generation of young, and some not so old, South African winemakers that are looking to shake up traditional ways, experiment, take some risks and stamp their personality on the wines coming out of the Cape. Over the last month The Buyer has been featuring a number of the producers and winemakers and the UK wine importers that have made today’s tasting possible. If you missed them first time round, they are all here as your one stop shop of all that is hippety and happening in South Africa.
