Zandvliet’s credo has long been “the winelovers’ friend for many years” and this My Best Friend range reflects the pure enjoyment that goes into the making and sharing of a fine wine. Conceptualised and specially blended by cellarmaster Paul de Wet – originally for his best friend who wanted a juicy, easy-drinking wine at fair value – these wines have been designed to be immensely quaffable, for their – and your – everyday drinking pleasure.
