Wine route

On Saturday morning, we decided to go and do a bit of wine tasting. Our first stop was Clos Malverne just outside of Stellenbosch. The wine was delicious and the company was great. We bought a bottle of the Auret - a five year investment (now we just need to make sure that we don't drink it before 2019!).

We then moved on to Brenaissance, down the road, for lunch where Lyndall and Craig joined our group. We both did a pizza and wine pairing - four different pizzas and four types of wine that compliment them. The highlights were definitely the Merlot and the biltong and fig pizza (although they weren't paired together!).

Delicious Lemon, Lime and Mint juice

The rest of the group left and the four of us headed back to Clos Malverne. This time for a wine and ice-cream pairing! The ice-cream was delicious and the wine was pretty good too.

Top Right – Honey, cinnamon and nut
Bottom Right – White chocolate, cherry and sage

We were blessed with a beautiful day, the pictures don't do it justice! Thanks so much for having us and for showing us around your neck of the woods, Dudley and De-Marie, we're certainly going to miss you.

These two little birdies have clearly been having a tough time down in The Cape.
