boschendal-sunday-music-picnicsBoschendal says that they are proud to support local talent, and have carefully selected a diverse range of different acts, from Gypsy Jazz, Afro-Electro and home-grown Rock to covers of international hits.

Boschendal is a family farm, so bring the kids and let them play on the Werf lawns while you laze in the sun with a chilled glass of vino and soak in some local sounds. There are hammocks and bean bags, large shady oak trees and blankets. There’s a scenic pavillion and all around you are the majestic and magnificent Drakenstein mountains. It’s a great place to laze away a Sunday.

The only thing needed, now that the scene is set, is some lovely food. Your picnic basket will be filled with wholesome, artisinal treats from our farm produce. Boschendal offers the most scrumptious salads, picked fresh that morning from their very own Werf Food Garden, freshly baked baguettes, wonderful local cheese, homemade preserves, incredible free range chicken (thanks Farmer Rico), yummy desserts and to wash it all down, a selection of amazing wines.

It’s a bling bottle of Italian Sparkling Wine 🙌💞 and it’s R500 a bottle 😜

It’s called Vino dell’Amore Petalo Pink Manzoni Moscato Rosé and 
is an exclusive and very rare sweet sparkling rosé wine.

This rare grape variety was created by crossing Raboso Piave and Muscat of Hamburg. It has the fresh and fragrant character of the original grapes, a low alcohol content and a distinctive, pleasantly sweet taste. The colour is delicately pink, brilliant, with fine and lasting perlage. 

The bouquet is intense and refined, characterised by aromas of roses, raspberry, ripe citrus fruits, and final notes of sage. It is sweet and elegant, harmonic and balanced, with a long aromatic persistence, with acidity and tannins balancing the sugar content.

Pair this sweet sparkling with Provolone Dolce cheese, fruit (apple and pear) and shortbread biscuits. @bottega_africa

Neil Ellis Wines is my 141st South African wine fa Neil Ellis Wines is my 141st South African wine farm visit. They have a “newish” wine tasting centre in Stellenbosch which is absolutely lovely with incredible views.

They didn’t start off like that though, owner Neil Ellis, started winemaking in 1984 and would source grapes from all over Stellenbosch to make his wine in a rented cellar space. Today, this wine has made a brand for itself and is synonymous with top-quality reds! Especially Cabernet Sauvignon.

More info on my blog, link in bio.

Ever thought a wine bottle was so beautiful that y Ever thought a wine bottle was so beautiful that you simply had to re-use it? Get your hands on the @anthonijrupertwyne #protearange (this Sauvignon Blanc is only R76) and turn it into a masterpiece like such 😍

The bottom sections of the bottle made for the perfect snack bowls to munch on after work today. 

What would you use the bottle for after you drink the wine?

Check that swirl! It’s a Cinsaut 2016 from @neil Check that swirl! It’s a Cinsaut 2016 from @neilelliswines 😍

This distinctive style of Cinsaut pays tribute to the heritage of the South African wine industry. A limited release wine, it demonstrates the distinctiveness of specific vineyard sites.

The grapes were sourced from a south-west facing bush vine vineyard grown in decomposed granite and table mountain sandstone.

This wine spent 17 months in 500 l French oak barrels; 20% new, 20% 2nd fill and 60% older.

R315 a bottle available on the Neil Ellis website.
