1 on every 4,5 litres of alcohol traded in SA is now an illicit product (22% of market) vs 1 in 6,5 litre in 2017. The size of the illicit market now larger than the total 🇿🇦domestic wine🍷 and cider market! #enforcementfailure #joblosses #socioeconomiccrisis @Vinpro_za

Mesmerizing. That’s ultimately the best way to describe Voorloper Bush Vines Syrah 2018 from Daniël de Waal of Pella Wines/Super Single Vineyards. Grapes
