So what is different this year?

In a rather adventurous attempt to step things up a little, Diemersfontein has managed to secure the top-class ensemble of the famous Cape Town Brass Band, together with special guest singer Zolani Mahola (lead singer of Freshly Ground) and under the direction of top musical conductor Richard Cock, fans will be in for an event second to none!  With the voice and piquancy of Zolani, this promises to be a musical extravaganza!

Why Pinotage?

The purpose of this passionately supported event is to celebrate the new vintage of the famed Diemersfontein (Original) Coffee Chocolate Pinotage – and true to its event title, this very palatable vino will be served quite literally from the tap! What a true South African experience! First developed in 2001, Diemersfontein’s trademark wine boasts a full-bodied and unique flavour that has taken the world by storm. Praised for its accessibility, rich coffee flavour and unpretentious appeal, it’s no wonder that this robust red has been dubbed ‘the people’s Pinotage’.

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.
