Put this one in your diary- we are hosting our second annual Dombeya Open Day on Saturday the 7th of May 2011, from 15h00 – 19h00.

Come and try the new releases, including the recently released Dombeya Merlot 2008, judged by the John Platter Guide 2011 as equal #2 in South Africa.

At 16h00, cellarmaster Rianie Strydom will host this year’s Dombeya Masterclass on the subject, ” Vintage Variation- does this apply to South Africa?”, whilst examining the role of blending in achieving consistency of style from year to year. Numbers are strictly limited and booking is essential. Contact Werner on 021 881 3895 or through Twitter ( @dombeyawine) to secure a place.

Cheese Platters from the Long Table Restaurant will be for sale on the day.

Entry is free, come along and enjoy a great afternoon in the Helderberg.

Haskell Vineyards is located on Annandale Road, Stellenbosch, off the R44.
