Wines of the Week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.White: 1998 Deetlefs Sémillon, £6.99, selected Tesco stores
Made by the improbably named Kobus Deetlefs in the Cape's Breede River Valley, this is a delicately smoky, oak-fermented dry white with clean, ripe, peachy flavours. South Africa deserves to be better-known for its sémillon.
Red: 1998 Wrattonbully Cabernet Sauvignon, Limestone Coast, £5.99, Waitrose
Boundary disputes in the Limestone Coast region are behind the tongue-twisting name of this Australian red. Despite the name, the wine is easy on the palate, with neat oak spicing.
