South Africa
3-course menu including all wines, only £29.00 per person
South Africa's winemaking history dates back to 1659. Production is concentrated around Cape Town, with major vineyard and production centres at Paarl and Stellenbosch. The winemaking traditions of South Africa often represents a combination of old world wine making and the new. Since the end of Apartheid, many producers have been working on producing more "international style" wines that can be successful on the world market. Winemakers from France, Spain and California have brought new techniques and styles to South Africa.
In the 1980s, the use of oak barrels for fermentation and aging became popular. Today the focus in the South African wine industry has been on increasing the quality of wine production-particularly with the more exportable and fashionable red grape varieties.
We have put together some fantastic South African examples, these include a Rhine Riesling and a Viognier/Chenin blend for the whites, a funky Rose made with South Africa’s very own Pinotage and a simply delicious blend called 'Inkspot' for the reds. On Sunday 28th March we will sample six fine wines alongside a fantastic three course dinner menu and all for only £29.00 per person.
