Great line-up I’ve just presented to a group of wine lovers; the Saffer Chardonnays showed well & were much enjoyed; 21 great Aus vintage too. Freshness, textural & flavour complexity + subtle oak in all. @restlessriverRR@OliveHR@TesselaarsdalW
A Monday fine wine throw back remembering the late great Steven Spurrier as seen here with Anthony Hamilton Russell, another gent of the fine wine trade. 🙏🏼🍷🇿🇦
An embarrassment of riches at last night’s Seven Wineries multi-decade tasting. Absolute treasure trove of wines. What a privilege to taste them. #CapeWine2022
@GenWine4 @OliveHR@KanonkopEstate@MullineuxWines Not sure how the line-up was decided. In fairness, "Magnificent Seven" is artistic license on our part... Official invitation looked like this 👇
After a few days in the country and 2 days of tasting at the #capewine2022 wine fair, I can say this with great conviction. There is no more exciting wine region in the world right now than South Africa. The hundreds of wines I've tasted in the last 5 days have blown my mind.
Lose yourself in the wine: drifting through the aisles of @Hedonism_Wines in Mayfair, and discovering a solid South African selection amongst some heavyweight company… #DRLW
Good day discovering #HemelEnAarde with great visits, tasting and talks on just how far and fast this region is going to make sustainable, environmental Chardonnay & Pinot Noir amongst others. Pre @CapeWine2022 events off & running @WOSA_ZA@WOSA_UK. Good to be back.
Today ARENI LIVE Stellenbosch Edition kicks off - 60 wine professionals from all over the world attending the annual 3 day think-tank to debate the future of fine wine.
Inspirational & exciting - so much hard work by @StellWineRoute and Pauline Vicard.

I go simply elemental in the winter issue of Gourmet Guide. If you look close enough, a wine will reveal its place of origin in the glass, it’s a way of sending you a postcard from the summer it was bottled: simply signed, wish you were here. Pg. 66

@christoswineman@WOSA_UK So glad you still have a bottle, and enjoyed it Christos.
Very much looking forward to welcoming you back to Hamilton Russell Vineyards in the new year!
