What Makes Elgin Great? 🍇 🍷 🍎 Welcome to wine school at @thesaxonhotel with @ionawines @richardkershawwines and @winesofelgin “What makes the region suitable for apples makes it even better for wine.”- @ionawines #TasteLetsSee #ionawines #ExperienceElgin #ElginChardonnay (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNFxQpKUiq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Appellation Series We tasted the @boschendalwines Elgin Appellation Series Pinot Noir 2020 and it moved me to consider the immense knowledge and insights of Richard Kershaw, MW Richard imparted: “terroir is the complete natural environment including soil, climate and topography in which wine is produced.” How does Elgin’s terroir influence wine? #TasteLetsSee #ExperienceElgin #Boschendal (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFVo6yqUf5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Paul Cluver Pinot Noir 🍇 A few months ago, I had the pleasure of having lunch with @paulcluverwines and he explained how the aging potential of their wines had been studied over time. That particular tasting and meal was a study of Paul Cluver Chardonnay. @paulcluverwines Pinot Noir 2009, jewel-toned and joyous is still a sensation over a decade later. Delicious #TasteLetsSee #ExperienceElgin #PaulCluver (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCxQJWKwXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sublime Sutherland 💛 It’s no coincidence that Sutherland and Sublime begin in the same way. @sutherlandwines, @thelemawines’s Elgin property shared their 2015 Chardonnay at @thesaxonhotel Time has been a gift to this wine, rich colour, phenomenal texture. Truly beautiful #TasteLetsSee #ExperienceElgin #ElginChardonnay (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmBBB05qX0Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eleven Years 💛 More than a classic Mary J. Blige lyric, eleven years reveals the aging potential of Elgin Chardonnay. Still resplendent, just over a decade in bottle, @neilelliswines Chardonnay 2011 is vibrant and lovely and beautiful. #TasteLetsSee #neilelliswines #ElginChardonnay #ExperienceElgin (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl-VVd_q4vA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
