South African Wine Tasting ~ Old world finesse meets new world flavor.

Join us at The Wine Cellar in Cornelius for a night of fine South African wine, nice atmosphere and good company.

The tasting starts at 7:00. $15 at the door covers your tasting and appetizers.

We will be tasting 5 beautifully crafted South African w...ines:

Jardin Chardonnay:
A powerful expression of Chardonnay, brimming with fruit flavor and elegance. A buttery toastiness from the Burgundian oak fermentation balances the complex hazelnut and citrus flavors offered by the tank fermented component of this wine.

Fairvalley Pinotage:
A lightly oaked wine, vibrant purple/red in color, layered with sweet plum and berry notes. Spicy black fruit and ripe soft tannins play out on the finish. Made in a bright, modern style.Pinotage is a varietal that originated in South Africa, created in 1925 as a hybrid of Pinot Noir and what was originally thought to be Hermitage (thus the derived name Pinotage), but was later discovered to be Cinsaut. The varietal is extensively grown in South Africa, with small amounts in California and New Zealand.

Slowine Shiraz:
The bright purple red wine shows lots of spice and fruit on the nose, the palate is soft yet concentrated with fruit and a lingering finish.

Vinum Africa Cabernet Sauvignon
A deep, shiny cherry hue and smooth, rich spicy nose combine with individual flavors, layered structure & generous fruit. The aim is to combine the classic structure of Old World Cabs, with a nod to the warmth of the New World’s accessible fruit. Intelligent oaking compliments rather than dominates the wine, allowing it to reflect its origin’s natural flavors. Cigar box, blueberry, cherry and mocha mingle seamlessly, bridging the lapse between sips.

Sequillo Red :
“Good full red. Redcurrant, spicecake and chocolate mint on the nose, lifted by a note of dried flowers. Suave, juicy and vinous, with good concentration of flavor in a medium-bodied package. More southern than northern Rhone in its red fruit and spicecake flavors, but not particularly fleshy or powerful. Subtly sweet, firmly structured and elegant. Made by Eben Sadie of Columella fame.”
