Everything being poured
Twenty poured across the two masterclasses. Twenty at the party. Every one of them on the shelf afterwards.
Masterclass I — Focus · Wednesday
Masterclass II — Vineyard · Thursday
Four wines carry over between the two masterclasses, so the twenty pours are sixteen different bottles.
Prices are the shelf price a bottle, including VAT. Wines are subject to availability; anything we cannot get in time is replaced with one of equal or better standing and you are told before the day.
The main event
Two completely different line ups. Twenty exceptional Shiraz wines.
Masterclass I · Wednesday 07 October · two sittings
The comparative one, and the one collectors come for. A three vintage Porseleinberg vertical, Mullineux's Schist, Granite and Iron side by side, and Saronsberg's top three in order. Same hands, same year, only the ground changes.
The wildcard, poured blind. Nobody gets told what it is until the glasses are down.
The estate shiraz, and the bottom rung on purpose.
Shiraz led blend.
The flagship shiraz.
Hilltop south of Riebeek Kasteel. Blue schist, ground about 80 per cent rock.
Tim Atkin MW scored it 100 and made it his Red Wine of the Year.
The new release. First vintage under Eben Meiring.
Same hands, same year. Only the soil changes.
Granite of the Paardeberg.
Iron rich soils on the Kasteelberg. The rarest of the three.
Three verticals side by side. We do not sell wine by the glass, so this is the one week of the year you get to line these up.
Masterclass II · Thursday 08 October · two sittings
The broad one. Exceptional South African Shiraz from one end of the Cape to the other, the iconic names alongside rare releases and single vineyard wines, from the highest vineyards in the Cederberg to a block planted in 1968.
Polkadraai Hills.
Blue schist, hand printed label, no new oak.
The highest vineyards in the Cape.

The weekend
