At Museum Wines, we’ve never believed that great value should be squeezed into a single week of discount hysteria. Instead, we quietly curate extraordinary bottles all year round, leveraging deep relationships, insider knowledge and a nose for the under-the-radar gems that deliver unrivalled value for money for 365 days of the year.
And with that in mind we have decided that we will not be participating in Black Friday, Cyber Monday or any other fashion of discount driven bonanza.
Instead, this week, we’re raising a glass to three newly arrived South African standouts, each one a perfect example of why “great value” comes more than once a year.
Celebrate a new era of everyday best deals.
Exceptional selection, all-year round with 10% off any six bottles to make filling the rack even easier.

The 1988 is very elegant, deep and complex. A savoury, salty edge combined with fine tannins and pure fruit make for a serious but delicious wine. Superbly long and textured. Bringing back the tradition of a Christmas Port from a historic Cape farm.

“Rudger van Wyk’s maiden red release from his New Dawn project is a tantalising Southern Rhone-style red blend of 58% Syrah, 20% Carignan, 17% Grenache and 5% Cinsault. A vibrant bright cherry red in the glass, the aromatics are incredibly pure and bright showing a crystalline vitality and precision. Incredibly perfumed and lifted, the nose is tightly packed with notes of lavender and white flowers, glacĂ© red cherries, cranberry, and saline hints of black currant. Medium bodied, concentrated and intricately structured, there is a real core of energy to the wine driven by a tangy fresh acidity and tart bright red cherry and red currant fruits with silky soft powdery tannins and long, mouthwatering finish. This wine shows serious winemaking prowess with its weightless intensity, harmonious elegance, and a piercing focused length. Unforced and effortless, this is a cracking new label debut from Rudger that’s worth tracking down. Drink now to 2034+.” – Greg Sherwood MW.Â

“The 2021 Big G displays lush layers of black currant compote and cherry kirsch liquor with intricate high tone notes of raisined cranberries. Luxurious, creamy and textured, the breadth and depth on the palate is impressive, the tart tangy black cherry fruits mouth coating and broad. The tannins are wonderfully powdery and creamy, the finish picante, glycerol and incredibly long. A suitably impressive follow up vintage to the lauded 2020. Drink on release and over 8 to 10+ years.” –Â Greg Sherwood MW.
