With 3 weeks to go until #DrinkChenin Day 2021, we are so excited to reveal this year's theme: 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡 & 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗛𝗜 🥢🍣 On Friday 18 June, join us in celebrating the love affair between Chenin Blanc & sushi 💚💛 Check out our Facebook & IG today for a chance to win!

What's the most exciting wine region on the planet currently? I think there are strong arguments to be made for so many, from France to Australia, but I can't help thinking South Africa gets my vote for innovation and quality, especially mid- to top-tier wines.

My suggestion for the world's most under-appreciated wine grape bit.ly/3uK4NsB Yours?

I loved meeting Charla Bosman, winemaker of @SijnnWines. And what a wild vineyard, W.O Malgas. Part Châteauneuf-du-Pape, part Douro; for a combination of the most African vineyard site I’ve seen. My story for @WOSA_ZA : wosa.co.za/WOSA-News/Blog…

Drink it in.. my top ten wines from April on @winecoza news.wine.co.za/News.aspx?NEWS… #wine #SouthAfrica

You should taste the rest of the @AgulhasWineT wines!

Is South African Colombard getting the recension it deserves as a serious cultivar ? I honestly hope soon 🍷🇿🇦🇿🇦@WOSA_UK @gregsherwoodmw @StenwrethMW @VinoSA_UK @HandfordWines @FionaMcDonaldSA @darylbalfour @MarkusAllan @lisawinetravel

Watch this space for the full video, to be released on Thursday, telling the story of one of the winning producers of the @StandardBankZA Chenin Blanc #TopTenChallenge and how the prize money has been spent to upskill their farm worker community! @SBAgriBiz @WOSA_ZA #DrinkChenin

Very much enjoying a glass of this so drinkable pinotage/cinsaut @AndreMorgenthal left with me. Its purpose to help @CapeWinemakersG protégés, @oldvineproject & #savesawine devised by WOSA’s @petramayer. Thanks @winemag pic label.

Today we raise a glass and celebrate @StellWineRoute 50th anniversary! It is one of the most celebrated wine routes in the world and was not only the 1st wine route SA, but has also made a huge contribution & impact on the SA wine industry since 1971. Cheers to another 50 years!

What a lot of fun that was. Disappeared into the @AgulhasWineT with @AndreMorgenthal, @ChristianEedes & @jonolef - salty wines & salty banter was the order of the day. #wine #wineforexplorers

Something the Swarland has in abundance is 'Sout van die Aarde'. Aptly named @AABadenhorst. Delicious wines

Today's the day! Time to celebrate 50 years of beautiful wine farms, award-winning wines, and all the producers that make us the largest and oldest wine route in South Africa! Cheers! 🥂 #StellenboschWineRoute50

Our Imvini Wethu is a unique blend of Cinsault and Pinotage! It seems we are not only doing good by sharing all our profits but also by being an inspiration for a uniquely South African blend and taste profile! @gregsherwoodmw

Tomorrow we reach another BIG milestone for the SA Wine Industry as ⁦@StellWineRoute⁩ turns #50 and ⁦@Vinpro_za⁩ & ⁦@StellenboschUni⁩ launch a worldclass vineyard training & research facility #excellence #education ⁦@WinetechSA⁩ 🍇 🍷

Interesting article by @gregsherwoodmw on the future of pinotage and cinsault in South Africa. Greg calls them unlikely bedfellows but has high praise for Imvini Wethu Cinsault Pinotage 2019 bit.ly/2Q5yKEh
