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=

A Wonderful Situation 💛 A step back in time at @thesaxonhotel for an Elgin Chardonnay experience. Tasting history with @ionawines 2008 Chardonnay. Andrew Gunn warmed us up with the words: “a wonderful situation, to be at The Saxon.” Indeed. Where were you in 2008? Was it a wonderful situation? #TasteLetsSee #ionawines #ElginChardonnay #ExperienceElgin (at Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8mLr5Kz-C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Such a Fun Age 2️⃣1️⃣🎉 @ionawines turned 21 in style in the company of friends at @ilve_za - what a delicious way to count the years #TasteLetsSee #IonaWines #Iona21 (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaD2RDqb6P/?utm_medium=tumblr

A Monopole Moment “We celebrate the fact that we don’t buy in grapes. There is a real, consistent quality - and that ability comes from grapes that you grow yourself.”- @ionawines #TasteLetsSee #IonaWines #Iona21 #ElginWine (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXlKL0qpVQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Solace 🖤 “I probably spent the last 20 years farming soil because there wasn’t any when we arrived (at Brocha). (On Biodynamic farming): I only do it for one reason, because we genuinely believe that it contributes to quality.”-Rozy Gunn, celebrated artist on the vines that were first planted in 2004 and the first vintage that was produced in 2007 - which she describes as brutal, because it was made as a warm climate eine. It took the team seven years to recover, and like the Bracha blessing said before a meal, Brocha produced the Solace 2014 which, alongside the 2020 vintage, encapsulates so much about why cool climate Syrah beckons one closer to the table #TasteLetsSee #IonaWines #Iona21 (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXVyHeq1Rp/?utm_medium=tumblr

Art on a Plate 🥚 “Aesthetics are so important to me it’s my background.”-Rozy Gunn, on @ionawines Solace Syrah Rozy Gunn traveled to Johannesburg and made herself at home at @ilve_za to cook for a small group to commemorate @ionawines turning 21. What an honour it was to be counted amongst that small group to taste Iona’s journey and to toast to their continued tenacity.
