In the 46th edition of Platter’s Diners Club South African Wine Guide<\/em>, which was launched yesterday, three wine producers received the highest accolades bestowed by Platter’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Top Performing Winery of the Year goes to the winery that achieves the most five stars after the annual final tasting round. This year the recipient is Diemersdal Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Editor\u2019s Award Winery of the Year award recognises a wine-growing individual or team who, based on performance in the current edition as well as track record, are ambassadors par excellence for South African wine. This year the award goes to Alheit Vineyards, which has shown consistently stellar form since its debut in the 2012 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Newcomer Winery of the Year is awarded to a producer who debuted in Platter\u2019s this year and achieved the highest scores. The well-deserved recipient of this distinction is The Saldanha Wine & Spirit Co, with two stunning wines earning 95 and 96 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect companion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Comprehensive yet engaging, and welcoming of newcomers to the vine, the 2026 Platter’s Diners Club SA Wine Guide<\/em>, like previous editions, is the perfect independent companion for anyone who lifts a glass of South African wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new edition celebrates a remarkable 46 years of the guide showcasing South Africa’s winegrowers and grape-spirit distillers, through winery profiles, wine descriptions and ratings, wine-country maps and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best-selling features of the collectible editions are present and fully updated for the 2026 guide, in which well over 900 producers, merchants and brands are featured, including more than 30 new ones and more than 8 000 locally-produced wines as well as brandies, husk spirits and sherry-style wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide\u2019s descriptions and ratings, compiled in association with a team of leading experts, make it easy to find the right wine for any occasion, while the good-value indicators highlight those bottlings, which are especially budget-friendly across all quality levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
A much-anticipated feature of the guide is the reveal of the cover look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Extensive information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Platter\u2019s 2026 guide also packs extensive information on where to go and what to do in wine country. Wine-tasting options are covered in detail, along with many winery amenities, attractions and activities, plus dining and accommodation options in Cape Town and the Winelands. Easy-to-use maps and quick look-up tables provide invaluable help for visitors planning their own Winelands rambles, while listings of specialised wine-tour operators offer a variety of alternatives for those who prefer a guided experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fully updated notes on the major wine-growing regions, grape varieties, wine-making styles, wine-tasting terms and the major wine competitions and awards as well as listings of wine educators country-wide form part of a wide-ranging offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, the new guide is prefaced by an insightful and thought-provoking overview of important developments and trends in South Africa and the wider wine world. A much-anticipated feature of the guide is the reveal of the cover look. This year it is a vibrant orange-and-white combination, which the Platter\u2019s team named \u201cTable Bay Sunset\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of any new edition is the five-star wines line-up \u2013 the exceptional bottlings which emerge from a second round of tasting of the wines with the highest rating on the Platter\u2019s scale of 0-5 stars (\u201cSomewhat less than ordinary\u201d to \u201cSuperlative. A South African classic\u201d). In this edition 316 wines, brandies and husk spirits receive a five-star rating, equating to 95 or more on the 100-point international scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highest scorers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of the five-star-awarded wines, the highest scorers within each category receive the sought-after accolade, Wines of the Year. This time there are 36 such category winning wines. Also noteworthy are 430 highly recommended wines, brandies and husk spirits which narrowly miss five stars, but are nonetheless extremely fine and collectable in their own right, earning a rating of 94 on the 100-point scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there are the just over 130 red-and-white wines showing particular potential for cellaring (they appear under the banner \u201cBuy Now, Drink Later\u201d); the 168 Hidden Gems, wines which tasters feel are particularly worthy of note, being interesting, attractive, unique or representative of an important trend; and the 115 Superquaffers, wines that are exceptionally drinkable and well-priced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
