This is a nice winery. There is a lovely grass area and
children’s playground outside.
The
tasting room is nicely sized and welcoming on the inside.
There is an outdoor
patio just outside the tasting room with tables and chairs where you are also
welcome to do your wine tasting.
From this patio you look out on to a pond with
plenty of lawn surrounding it where you can enjoy a gourmet picnic. They have
set up the lawn with bean bags, picnic blankets and umbrellas.
At this winery they have 6 wines for tasting. These include
the Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc 2010 (R95), Chardonnay 2010 (R135), The
First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (R60), ‘Old Bush Vines’ Pinotage 2009 (R95),
Three Cape Ladies 2009 (R115) Trilogy 2008 (R250). They have other wines for
sale but not for tasting.
I thought the Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc 2010 was very
fruity with a nice lime flavour to it, it’s also very smooth. The Chardonnay
was creamy, nice and didn’t have a wooded/oaked taste to it. My friend usually
doesn’t try Chardonnay’s let alone drink them, but she also felt this was a
really nice Chardonnay and one that she would actually enjoy drinking a bottle
of. The First Lady Cabernet Sauvignon was a little spicy, dry and had hints of
tobacco. ‘Old Bush Vines’ Pinotage had great fruity flavours but a chalky
aftertaste. The Three Cape Ladies is a blend of Pinotage, Shiraz and Cab Sauv.
This wine is elegant, yet has a slightly chalky aftertaste, and has dark
chocolate and pepper tones.
Our experience here was really nice. I would love to get our
group of friends together one day and enjoy a picnic on the lawn, it would be a
really nice way to spend a nice sunny afternoon!!
