Mellasat Vineyards in Paarl and their White Pinotage

It’s a new Syrah by @survivorwines 😍 “Our It’s a new Syrah by @survivorwines 😍 “Our single minded focus on crafting terroir specific wines that express their true sense of place and authenticity is the hallmark of our 100% Swartland Survivor Syrah,” says winemaker Ben Snyman, adding that the Swartland is best suited for wines with big, bold flavours. Capturing the spirit of Africa’s indigenous Nguni, this generous, full-bodied wine brims with luscious layers of spice, violets and blackberries, and entices the palate with soft, velvety tannins and a hint of oak. “Made with exceptional fruit from low-yielding vineyards, our Swartland Syrah will wow you with its complexity and craftsmanship,” says Snyman who enjoys the wine with barbecue chicken, spicy stir-fry pork, leg of lamb or spare ribs on the braai. Standing proud in its regal bottle sealed with a bold orange cap, there is nothing shy about this intrepid wine. Survivor Syrah 2019 is available at a cellar door price of R200.

Maastricht Wines is my 145th winery visit in South Maastricht Wines is my 145th winery visit in South Africa. They have recently renovated and opened their new tasting room and so are causing quite a stir in the Durbanville Wine Valley. I arrived at 11am and was able to get one of the last tables available – it was quite full! This winery was established in 1702 and recently purchased by the Louw family in 1982. Grape varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir were planted over 100 hectares of land. An interesting fact is that it was discovered that, in a document from the early 19th century, Maastricht was one of the first nine farms to be registered as wine producers. A minimum of 10 000 vines was required in order to be classified as a wine estate. Wine tasting is R70 for five wines including a glass of Cap Classique or R50 for 5 wines.

LovanE Boutique Wines in Stellenbosch is my 144th LovanE Boutique Wines in Stellenbosch is my 144th wine farm visit in South Africa. You can imagine my delight when I found out that they have a Malbec which is not so easily come by in South Africa. This wine farm is quite new as they were established by the Visser family in 2003 and they produced their first wines in 2006. Wine tasting is just R30 to taste 5 wines which is really great value because normally you pay around R10 a glass. The service was friendly and professional. You will find majority red wines with a favourite of mine being the Malbec and what a steal at only R85! @lovanewineestate #lovaneboutiquewineestate #lovanewines #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #malbec #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #stellenbosch #supportstellenbosch #drinkstellenbosch #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
