Images of the Wine Tasting held at Courchevel

I was privileged to receive an invitation to a very exclusive tasting of vintage red wines of South Africa on Courchevel a farm situated in Franschhoek.

The moment I walked into the farm house to attend the Wine Tasting, I sensed that this would be the most special wine event ever for me. South African vintage wines from the 1950’s 60’s and 70’s together with some of the most influential personalities from the wine industry in one room.

This set the scene for the tasting which would not only present amazing wines, but also embrace the South African Wine Heritage through personal accounts by these accomplished wine makers, who were involved with the process more than 50 years ago. The heart of the industry joined together to celebrate and capture our unique wine culture, history and achievements.

Dit is nie elke dag dat ’n mens dekades oue wyne saam met Suid-Afrikaanse wynlegendes kan proe nie. Winifred Bowman, ’n Kaapse wynmeester, deel haar ervaring van dié goue oues (dis nou die wyn).

Die voorreg om uitsonderlike ou wyne oor my lippe te kry, het hom onlangs voorgedoen met ’n uitnodiging van Graeme Falck en Sonja Hellinger van Courchevel in Franschhoek.

We hosted a wine tasting in May 2016 of exceptionally rare and old South African red wines from our collection. The guests in attendance were an exclusive group of some of South Africa’s top wine personalities.
