Can You Paint With All The Colours of The Wind • We know we’ve found gold when everyone at the table takes a sip, stops and asks: ‘what’s that’? @hazendal_estate Christoffel Hazenwinkel The Blanc de Noir 2019 is made from Shiraz grapes from the @stellwineroute. It’s not only an almost-jewel-like, rich onion-peel colour, it’s the colour of Johannesburg at sunset. With complex layers of citrus, red fruit, and citrus the nose is elegant and inviting. Great acidity and red fruit on the palate make it a joyous food-pairing wine. It also kept unfolding, and had great depth and intensity. Raising a glass to @clarisesciocatti for hitting all the right notes. (Available online for delivery after lockdown. Drink Responsibly) • #tasteletssee #hazendal #hazendalathome #spectacularsouthafrica (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDx0BVSJd5s/?igshid=8v20tvozfmcv

Women’s Day In Words • There are days when we turn to the words of wiser women, and wine made by women facing current challenges that many are still finding words for. • @hazendal_estate Blanc de Noir 2019, made from Shiraz. I’ll have to divulge more in a separate post, the tasting is a story in and of itself. For today, we revisit the reason for the season, as it were. • “The march resulted in high drama when they arrested all the women, over 6000, and then, not having sufficient prison accommodation, held an emergency court outside the court building in lights beamed by cars. I was proud that I had a hand in planning it, but disappointed that I was not part of the protest.”-Fatima Meer, Memories of Love and Struggle pp164 • #womensday #tasteletssee #hazendal #womeninwine (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrN0LBJBm7/?igshid=e8x7jlzg2ufj

Little By Little One Travels Far • With intra-provincial travel reopened, why not hop over to @hazendal_estate? While we continue to emphasise caution, we celebrate the @stellwineroute for being the first destination in South Africa to be awarded the prestigious Safe Travels Stamp by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). If, like me, it isn’t possible to Visit Stellenbosch yet, consider Hazendal’s 100% Shiraz Blanc de Noir 2019, a romantic accompaniment to Chef Michelle Theron’s macaroons. Take your palate to beautiful places.

From Hazendal’s Home To Ours • These days of Soltiude have been made sweeter Chef Michelle Theron, and Winemaker Clarise Sciocatti-Langeveld. Celebrating World Chocolate Day in style with Hazendal, from the Stellenbosch Winelands. Christoffel Hazenwinkel The Red Blend 2018 is comprised of Shiraz, Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon and is an elegant companion to Chef Michelle’s chocolate burger with coconut shavings. The valley of hares has hopped into my heart. | #TasteLetsSee #HazendalatHome #Hazendal #worldchocolateday (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTeOYPpAiu/?igshid=1xb1hlc35umf9
