Enthralled as I was by Bruce Jack’s CWG Flagstone Love Handles 2004 gives me reason to get enthused about the upcoming Nederburg Cape Winemakers’ Guild Auction Showcase.
CWG Flagstone Love Handles 2004
Here’s the chance for Cape Town and Joberg wine aficionados to sample informally, the best that South Africa can offer as well as chat to the winemakers themselves.
The CWG consists of only 41 South African winemakers who have to craft two wines a year which are peer reviewed and qualified to be sold on the CWG Auction. The guild funds from this auction, social development investment for school children in the wineland areas and further education through the Protege Programme.
The events also offer a chance to bid on a silent auction of rare signed bottles of CWG wines from previous auctions.
