Since 1980, Platter's hardcover book has been the winelover's essential guide to exploring the world of South African wine, including reviews of over 8,000 wines by a team of expert judges and key information about more than 900 wine producers.

To note:
1. Platter's app has been developed for the latest phone software versions and all features may not work on earlier versions.
