Twenty Two guests joined us for an enjoyable evening of tasting and conversation, exploring six distinctive wines that showcased both freshness and structure across the range.From lively bubbly and vibrant rosé to expressive whites and bold reds, each pour reflected the estate’s thoughtful approach to blending terroir, character, and craftsmanship.

4 Wines stood out above the rest, each earning a score of 4 and above:
• Boet Erasmus 2020
