This is an opportunity for wine lovers to interact with a senior winemaker and learn more about the intricacies of winemaking and wine in general.
The series kicks off on Saturday, 25 May from 10h30-12h00 with a tasting featuring one of the world’s most popular wine varietals: Sauvignon Blanc. Jan will be discussing different wine styles, price points and vintages with tastings of the Estate and Premiere range of Sauvignon Blancs, including the multi award-winning Sarabande 2017. “We hope all participants will leave afterwards having discovered a whole lot more about this intriguing and versatile wine varietal,” Jan said.
The dates for the rest of the series are: Saturday, 15 June where a vertical tasting of Avontuur Shiraz’s will support the SA Shiraz Association’s “Week of Shiraz and Venison”, 13/7 and 17/8 with a possibility of an additional date depending on the winemakers’ schedule. More details about the themes will be communicated closer to the time.
