One of South Africa’s most awarded boutique wine estates lies in a scenic valley of Hemel-en-Aard. The promise of this unique terroir is harnessed by winemaker Chris Albrecht in slow-ripened, flavour-rich wines of exceptional quality. Bouchard Finlayson is globally acclaimed for producing the best Pinot Noir in South Africa, as well as exceptional Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs.
Pieter Ferreira, South Africa’s most celebrated sparkling winemaker is looking forward to delighting our guests and sharing his passion for bubbles on Wednesday 22 June during an exclusive wine-pairing evening at Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius.
Tim Atkin, Master of Wine and renowned wine writer, has released his third annual South Africa Special Report. This comprehensive publication, which runs to almost 150 pages, is based on his visits to the Cape and further, extensive tastings in London. This year, for the first time, the report includes wines and winemakers of the year and proudly our very own Cuvee Clive 2009 made the podium and was chosen as Overall Sparkling Wine of the Year!
In addition, both Cuvee Clive 2009 (95) and the Blanc de Blancs 2010 (93) were awarded solid 90+ points.
