  • What a great 1st meeting for 2019. It’s no secret that De Grendel Wines have been a regular and key participant representing South Africa in the Six Nations Wine Challenge with Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot over the years. So, it was a great surprise and indeed a pleasure to meet the owner of De Grendel wines, Sir De Villiers (left of photo) in Sydney earlier today. No visit to the Cape Winelands is complete without a trip to this beautiful estate - the unrestricted views of Table Mountain from the tasting room and breath taking and the wines are very special indeed. For more info on De Grendel, visit www.degrendel.co.za

  • Well this was a first.... and a great one at that. Wines from Peru! The wine scene in Latin America is on fire, and I’m blown away by what I’ve just tasted. With strong focus on Petit Verdot, Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, this line up was rich, ripe and super complex with a myriad of flavours. Mind blown!!!! Check out the wines of #tabanero, #tacama & #santiagoqueirolo .... and watch this space!🍷. Thanks to Rafael Allende at Peru trade office in Sydney. .

  • Carmenere - Chile's adopted grape variety & unique gift to the wine world. This grape variety has only been recognised officially since 1998. Prior to that, much confusion existed around this variety, with the common belief being that this was indeed Merlot. Carmenere originated in Bordeaux, and is one of the varieties permitted in Bordeaux Blends. Chile has, over the past 20 years worked hard to refine single varietal wines made from Carmenere. Any wine labelled as Carmenere and originating from Chile is legally permitted to have up to 15% of other varieties included without this being indicated on the label. The Six Nations has a category dedicated to judging Merlot & Carmenere together, given the long history prior to these varieties being separated. We are indeed blessed to taste Carmeneres of the highest caliber entered into the Challenge every year. This years Challenge was no different - Anakena Tama Carmenere, Valle Secreto First Edition Carmenere; Maquis Calcu Reserva Especial Carmenere; Vina La Rosa Carmenere; Casa Donoso Bicentenario Gran Reserva Carmenere; Clos de Luz Massal Carmenere & Concha y Toro Terrunyo Carmenere represented Chile proudly! Congratulations to our Chilean partners.
