ONE MONTH TO CHRISTMAS! 🎄 🎅 and what a wine ONE MONTH TO CHRISTMAS! 🎄 🎅 and what a wine to have on the Christmas table 😍 This is the new vintage release of The Mentors Petit Verdot 2018 from KWV winemaker Izele van Blerk. @izele @kwv_thementors The Mentors range has established itself as one of the most sought-after premium brands in the South African wine landscape. Built around a philosophy of expressing terroir and pioneering new wines and wine-making techniques, it’s a portfolio that showcases the founding philosophy of KWV, and the rich history and depth of expertise at one of South Africa’s leading wine producers. Awarded 92 points by British Master of Wine, Tim Atkin, this 100% Petit Verdot is a concentrated and intense, ruby red wine that leads on the nose with sweet spice followed by dark cherries, black olives and violets. The palate is rich and juicy with prominent fruit sweetness. The tannin structure is well integrated and delivers a lasting finish. Available online, https://www.kwvemporium.co.za/product/petit-verdo/, at R260.00 per bottle, this wine is best paired with hearty red meats and aged cheese. #kwvthementors #petitverdot #wine #winestagram #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #cheeseandwine #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #winelovers #kwvwines #redwine #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
What a magical evening! 🤩 The winners of the 2 What a magical evening! 🤩 The winners of the 2020 Diners Club Winemaker and Young Winemaker of the Year awards were announced at a black-tie gala dinner at La Residence Hotel in Franschhoek on Saturday 21st November, with Johan Malan (Simonsig Wines) and Philip Theron (Glen Carlou) claiming top honours respectively. The Winemaker and Young Winemaker awards, focusing on quality and recognition of excellence, are regarded as the country’s most prestigious and well-respected wine industry competition. Celebrating the skills and talent of the vintners, these awards are open to all in the South African wine industry at no cost, thus affording all winemakers an equal opportunity. The Winemaker of the Year competition is in its 40th year, while the Young Winemaker contest has been running for 20 years. The awards are presented to the winemakers who produce a wine that the judging panel considers the best in a specified class. The categories for 2020 were Cap Classique for Winemaker of the Year, and Red Wines of any varietal or blend for Young Winemaker of the Year. The field was narrowed down to ten finalists through rigorous judging by a panel of wine experts: with five winemakers shortlisted for the prestigious Winemaker of the Year award, and five for the Young Winemaker of the Year title. This year’s Diners Club Winemaker of the Year (Cap Classique category), Johan Malan, delighted the judges with the 2015 Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut. The 2020 Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year, Philip Theron, received his award (Red Wines category) for the 2018 Glen Carlou Collection Tannat. The winning Winemaker receives R50 000, the Young Winemaker R25 000, and both win a trip to an exciting wine producing destination.

Wine and platter time! A new family and pet-friend Wine and platter time! A new family and pet-friendly dining experience has opened at Diemersfontein called PROE. (Yes that’s a MALBEC and Plum preserve 😍 ) The produce available at PROE is sourced locally and showcases many of the quality food brands people know, but perhaps never associated with Wellington and its immediate surrounds. Supporting local also means Diemersfontein can keep its carbon footprint low, and in line with goals for environmental sustainability. Visitors to PROE first make a selection from the deli, then hand their baskets to a waiter for plating and serving wherever they choose to enjoy their meal. Both the deli seating and shady lawns below provide views from the elevated estate across the farm dam to adjoining lands with ducks, horses and cattle, and the mountains beyond. Large, colourful picnic blankets are available for use by visitors. @diemersfontein #diemersfontein #winestagram #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #sushi #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #wellington #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
I’m a SAVAGE 😁 totally indulging with sushi a I’m a SAVAGE 😁 totally indulging with sushi and Chardonnay this evening... and these sunglasses are the bomb 😎 @dewetshofwines 🍷 TASTING NOTES 👉 Heavy clay soils rich in limestone allow this Chardonnay to emit optimum varietal expression in a cloak of rich complexity. An un-wooded wine, Limestone Hill has notes of grapefruit and nuts, with the complexity balanced by a nuanced elegance ending with a delicate ripeness. The American critic Robert Parker describes this wine as such: “The De Wetshof Estate Limestone Hill Chardonnay never sees oak, and offers impeccably pure, refreshing apple, peach and lemon fruit, a lovely leesy richness of texture, and a nutty, chalky, fruit-filled finish of imposing length. Understated and less tropical than some of the better un-oaked Chardonnays, this wine possesses far better balance and sheer drinkability – not to mention more finesse – than 99% of the world’s Chardonnay I have experienced.” R120 a bottle. #chardonnay #chardonnayallday #drinkwine #winelife #winelover #sushi #winepairing #capewinelands #winegirl #tastethelifestyle #robertson #dewetshof #winetasting #drinksouthafrican #sawine #wosa #southafricanwine #spectacularsouthafrica
