Our main goal is to expand the wine culture to everyone, from the wine novice, avid wine lover, to even the experienced connoisseur. Our expert will enrich your wine drinking experience during a two hour masterclass.
Mathieu will share his extended knowledge and passion for South African wines, right here in the heart of Cape Town. You will be offered tastings of 6 selected wines; consisting of 1 sparkling wine, 2 whites wines and 3 red wines.
DURING THE WINE MASTERCLASS WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT:
The 3 wine tasting steps:
Appearance: The analysis of the color, what does it tells me…
Nose: How to find all those flavors and why are they different and similar at the same time…
Palate: Identifying acidity, roundness and after taste and finding your own taste, why do you like a certain type of wine…
The history of wine in South Africa.
The first harvest was made in 1660 and the French huguenots arrived in 1688... what happen after and where are we now?
The wine making process.
Good basic knowledge on how each wine is made (white, red, rose and sparkling ), from the harvest to the bottle.
Reading a South African wine label.
MORE THAN JUST A WINE TASTING, IT IS AN EXPLORATION OF THE
SOUTH AFRICAN TERROIR !
TEAMBUILDING : Unite and challenge your team members! This service can also be offered at a private venue (boardroom, villa, guesthouse, hotel, etc…)
All tasted wines will be available for purchasing.
