NEW! Savoury Hummus and Wine pairing at Grande Provence Franschhoek

Posted on Sep 2, 2018 Leave a Comment on NEW! Savoury Hummus and Wine pairing at Grande Provence Franschhoek
grande provence hummus and wine pairing

Enjoy the all new, exciting wine and food experience at The Tasting Room at Grande Provence – a savoury pairing of hummus and wine.

This new twist created by Chef Guy Bennett together with the winemaking team, is perfect for sharing on a getaway to the Franschhoek winelands.

The natural bean hummus with labneh is tastefully coupled with Grande Provence Chardonnay, an elegant, full bodied wine with outstanding fruit and wood integration. The combination of citrus, almonds and creamy vanilla notes with nutty hummus flavours is a perfect match.

Grande Provence Shiraz with its well-integrated oak and soft tannins is well paired with the spiced red lentil hummus, creating a piquant taste experience.

Adding a sweet combination to the mix, the fig hummus with pumpkin seeds goes sublimely with Angels Tears Muscato. This deliciously fruity white nectar of the angels melds beautifully with the enticing sweetness of the fig infused hummus.

The Hummus and Wine pairing is available daily from 12h00 to 17h00 at R90 per pairing at The Tasting Room at GrandeProvence.

Located in Franschhoek, the heartland of South African wine country, Grande Provence offers true South African wine heritage, exceptional food and wine, and luxury boutique accommodation. For more information visitwww.grandeprovence.co.za, Facebook.com or Twitter @grande_provence.

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.
