2017 South African Pinot Noir: Defining the variety – R 450
Thursday, 14 March, Suite 1108 Dunkeld West Shopping Centre2017 will go down as one of the finest modern-day vintages and the early-release Pinot Noirs already show-off its brilliance. As our vineyards age and winemakers hone their craft, expect each vintage of Pinot Noir to gain in quality and purity. We’ll focus on the Hemel-en-Aarde along with a few serious producers from other regions. Highlights are set to include Storm, Crystallum, Creation, Kershaw, Hamilton Russell and more.
Traditional Rioja: López de Heredia and Bodegas Faustino – R 450
Thursday, 4 April, Suite 1108 Dunkeld West Shopping CentreAlmost forgotten as a category a decade ago, demand for traditional, long-ageing Rioja is at a new high. We’ll highlight the trend with current and back vintages from two of the most traditional producers. Bodegas Faustino is large house with beautifully fresh, expressive and pure wines that age extremely well. ‘A benchmark for a long ageing Rioja with quality,’ writes Decanter. López de Heredia needs little introduction as we taste though some of the world’s most traditional wines. We will end with a vertical of Gran Reservas going back to 1970!
