#YoungGuns4 and how we rocked Cape Town and Joburg…

This July, Wine Cellar – Fine Wine Merchants and Cellarers – rocked Cape Town and Jozi with its fourth annual Young Guns tasting, a celebration of innovation and exciting new winemaking talents.

These future legends aren’t afraid to shake things up and push the boundaries with minimal intervention and natural winemaking.
Angela Lloyd wrote a detailed review on the Cape Town event here, and you can view photos from both Cape Town and Joburg in the gallery below.
Since its inception in 2011, Young Guns has become a platform for emerging talent. Previous Young Gunners have included Chris Alheit of Alheit Vineyards, who has gone on to achieve five stars in Platter and to be named one of SA’s top producers by leading international critics such as Tim Atkin and Neal Martin.  This year’s irreverent bunch paired their wines with music and explained their aims and winemaking philosophies…
