READ: What defines fine wine in South Africa?
Four ultra-premium wineries, known for pioneering Cape Bordeaux Blends, presented their wines to a small group of journalists at London's 67 Pall Mall club. The reason? To delve into the world of fine wines, define what that truly means, to benchmark where South Africa as an industry measures up and thereby help to map out its future. After a discussion led by Areni Global’s Pauline Vicard into the meaning of ‘fine wine’, Meerlust, Vilafonté, Glenelly, and Mvemve Raats (MR) de Compostella showed two wines each – one from the difficult 2011 vintage and one from the near-perfect 2021 vintage, thus providing an enlightening snapshot of fine wine evolution in the Rainbow Nation.
