Choosing the right wines to serve at your wedding can be daunting but don’t worry – we’ve got your back!
All wine pairs well with romance but some bottles really wear their hearts on their labels. From sweet to saucy, here are four South African wines to serve during your upcoming nuptial celebrations.
Adam and Eve by Vergenoegd Löw
Vergenoegd Löw Wine Estate has created two irresistibly romantic wines, made from Merlot grapes – far more alluring than any forbidden fruit. Young, fresh, tempting, the limited edition Adam & Eve is a pair crafted to the award-winning standards of the Stellenbosch wine estate.
Adam is young, fresh and easy-drinking. A true original, he is a seductive wine bursting with bold flavours and soft ripe plum, red berries and hints of strawberry sorbet.
Delicate yet lively, Eve is an enticing white wine with subtle hints of citrus and lemon zest.
De Liedfe by Mountain Ridge
The inspiration behind the labels come from the winery’s previous name, Romans Rivier (Romance River) and the road that runs past the property, called De Liefde road (Love road). The easy-drinking wine range consists of a Chenin Blanc, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend, the Smooch sparkling wine and a non-alcoholic grape juice.
‘L’Amour Toujours by Allée Bleue
Find it, keep it and make it last! Meaning “love always” in French, this Bordeaux blend from the Franschhoek wine valley shows real elegance and power. This wine will bring out the heart in any meal while stealing the hearts of your wedding guests.
Tria Corda
Tria Corda is a Latin translation for 3 hearts and refers to these 3 varietals that form the heart of the Overgaauw Wine Estate’s unique terroir. This Stellenbosch Bordeaux red is a wonderfully poised and elegant wine and re-affirms this grand old estate’s terroir.
Romeo & Juliet by Kanu Wines
Upon a visit to Kanu Wines outside Stellenbosch, guests are often greeted by the energetic and friendly hounds, Romeo and Juliet. Immortalise in this limited release, the two lovers will no doubt avoid the tragic downfall of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. Certainly the perfect wine for a wedding or for your loved one’s wine collection.
