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

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

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

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

The Hamilton Russells are true pioneers at their Hemel-en-Aarde estate in South Africa. To celebrate 40 years of making top end Pinot Noir they opened some amazing library bottles including 2 of the only 5 they have left of their 1st vintage, 1981. Click the-buyer.net/tasting/wine/j…
