Reds and Ramekins rule with Quatro pack from Nederburg

This time round, Nederburg has created a fabulous four-pack featuring all the varietal reds in the classically styled Winemaster’s Reserve range: the Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinotage and Merlot. The special collection comes with two complimentary red Le Creuset stoneware ramekins and is expected to retail for around R300.

Offering a fresh, fun and unexpected take on wine and food pairing and presentation, the famous winery has commissioned a series of 12 recipes of super-tasty dishes that can all be prepared in the ramekins. They have been developed by Thuli Gogela of Mzanzi Style Cuisine, who is rapidly becoming one of South Africa’s favourite food bloggers for her original and inventive touches to traditional dishes. She has devised a starter, main and dessert recipe for each of the four reds included in the collection.

Every four-pack includes four recipe cards of either starters, mains or desserts with easy-to-follow instructions and photographs with styling suggestions for each.

She has matched the Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, with a blueberry and rooibos soufflé, the Shiraz with a biltong hummus and the Pinotage with a mussel and red wine soup.

Says SA brand manager for Nederburg, Melissa Diedericks: “The idea is to pique your curiosity and take your palate on a journey of flavour. Each pack includes a set of four recipes. So to collect all 12 recipe cards will mean several visits to your nearest participating wine stockist. It’s definitely worth it, though, not just for the great and interesting wine and food pairing ideas, but also for the excellent value.”

The Nederburg four-packs will be available from leading liquor outlets and www.vinoteque.co.za from late May 2015.
