Think you have it all figured out when it comes to a wine tasting? Nederburg’s The Manor restaurant and wine tasting hub in Paarl has teamed up with Freedom Coffee to offer wine and coffee lovers a slightly unusual tasting experience.

 

Baronne’s been flexing its well-toned muscles in some of the best red wine company. The 2020 vintage of this Mzanzi favourite has made it onto the just-released top ten list of Winemag’s Prescient Signature Red Blend Report for 2022.

 

“OK, kids, in the car. We’re off winetasting.”

 

Winter wants warmth – steaming, satisfyingly flavour-rich foods to ward off the chill. And wines of substance and stature to match.

 

It’s hard to resist when a log fire beckons, signalling all the warmth of welcoming country hospitality. That’s why, come cold winter days, the hearth is always glowing in the Nederburg manor house (aka The Manor).

 

Nederburg’s prestige Heritage Heroes collection has become more focused, says Nederburg cellar-master, Samuel Viljoen. “In every way, from the liquid to the livery, you’ll find a polished precision. The wines are fresher, livelier, and more poised.

 

Nederburg was the wine star at this year’s Luxe Restaurant Awards presentation event at Rosebank’s new Ethos restaurant held on 29 March, where foodies clinked their glasses in honour of the hottest names in South African cheffing.  

 

If you’re after some good vibes and fun in the sun for the whole family this Easter weekend (except Good Friday on 15 April), make your way to The Manor at the Nederburg farm, set against the imposing Drakenstein Mountains near Paarl.

 

Move over Chef’s Table and Parts Unknown. There’s a locally made cooking show that’s causing quite the stir, both at home and abroad. I’ll Bring The Wine is a brand new five-part series presented by Nederburg and hosted by acclaimed South African food writer and restaurateur, Karen Dudley.

 

In the mood for a typical South African food experience matched with fine wines and local music? Then gather your family and friends, and make your way to Slow Market Nederburg in Paarl, reopening on the weekend of 12 February (from 9:00 to 15:00).
