Great line-up I’ve just presented to a group of wine lovers; the Saffer Chardonnays showed well & were much enjoyed; 21 great Aus vintage too. Freshness, textural & flavour complexity + subtle oak in all. @restlessriverRR @OliveHR @TesselaarsdalW

A Monday fine wine throw back remembering the late great Steven Spurrier as seen here with Anthony Hamilton Russell, another gent of the fine wine trade. 🙏🏼🍷🇿🇦

An embarrassment of riches at last night’s Seven Wineries multi-decade tasting. Absolute treasure trove of wines. What a privilege to taste them. #CapeWine2022

One of many absolutely superb events coinciding with #CapeWine2022. Tasted some unbelievable wines - real gems. Thanks to @KanonkopEstate @Vilafonte @MullineuxWines @KleinConstantia @SadieFamilyWine @MeerlustWine @OliveHR

@GenWine4 @OliveHR @KanonkopEstate @MullineuxWines Not sure how the line-up was decided. In fairness, "Magnificent Seven" is artistic license on our part... Official invitation looked like this 👇

After a few days in the country and 2 days of tasting at the #capewine2022 wine fair, I can say this with great conviction. There is no more exciting wine region in the world right now than South Africa. The hundreds of wines I've tasted in the last 5 days have blown my mind.

Some of the hosts at tonight's "Magnificent Seven" tasting - Hamilton Russell, Kanonkop, Klein Constantia, Meerlust, Mullineux, Sadie, Vilafonté.

Lose yourself in the wine: drifting through the aisles of @Hedonism_Wines in Mayfair, and discovering a solid South African selection amongst some heavyweight company… #DRLW

Good day discovering #HemelEnAarde with great visits, tasting and talks on just how far and fast this region is going to make sustainable, environmental Chardonnay & Pinot Noir amongst others. Pre @CapeWine2022 events off & running @WOSA_ZA @WOSA_UK. Good to be back.

What happens when you take @saint_jhb head sommelier @mkmathobela, @Marble_SA’s SA Sommelier of the Year @wiek04, @SouthernSunGrp sommelier @capewinereview and @wine__ish’s Hlumelo Williams to @Andiccio24, give them each a bottle of wine, and ask them to build a pizza to pair…?

Today ARENI LIVE Stellenbosch Edition kicks off - 60 wine professionals from all over the world attending the annual 3 day think-tank to debate the future of fine wine. Inspirational & exciting - so much hard work by @StellWineRoute and Pauline Vicard. areni.global/programming/ar…

@mikeratcliffe @StellWineRoute @areniglobal @JonoLeFeuvre @michaelfridjhon @jamiegoode @FelicityCarter @MullineuxWines @tnashenyamudoka @creationwines @VisitStellies Very much looking forward to the next three days!

Superb wine for the English summer. Great memories of a visit to @OliveHR vineyards on the Criterion Wine Tours trip with @christoswineman

I go simply elemental in the winter issue of Gourmet Guide. If you look close enough, a wine will reveal its place of origin in the glass, it’s a way of sending you a postcard from the summer it was bottled: simply signed, wish you were here. Pg. 66 gourmetguide.co.za/3d-flip-book/g…
