UNBIASED.
UNFILTERED.
UNMATCHED.
Welcome to SAWi’s Grand Wine Collection (GWC) - the ultimate insider’s guide to South Africa’s most legendary wines. We don’t chase fleeting trends or one-hit wonders; we celebrate consistency, craft,
and the kind of brilliance that endures.
How do we know? Because every bottle in the GWC has proven its worth - scoring 93+ points in the world’s most respected blind tastings. We’re talking Decanter, IWC, IWCS, the Trophy Wine Show, Michelangelo, Veritas, and more.
Our selection process is ruthless (in the best way possible). Only wines that dominate year after year make the cut.
Think of us as your cheat code to the best wines. Whether you’re a collector, a Michelin-starred sommelier, or just someone who refuses to settle for the same old narratives, the GWC is your shortcut to excellence - backed by independent data, over 1,000 expert reviews, and zero guesswork. No compromise. No mediocrity. Just the best - bottled.
But great wine isn’t just about scores. It’s about sustainability, integrity, and the people behind the bottle. That’s why we’re also exploring the future - shining a light on South Africa’s rising artisanal winemakers, the evolution of organic and biodynamic viticulture, and the push for social equity in the vineyards. From hands-in-the-soil farming to fair labor practices, we champion the next generation of winemakers redefining excellence on their own terms.
This is more than a collection - it’s a movement. And your are welcome.
