Posted by Ilona Roberts on
Meet Raul Perez - Spanish winemaker and oenologist. “Raul is a free spirit…he doesn’t stop creating, he doesn’t stop tasting, he doesn’t stop changing.” He creates his own wines but also collaborates and advises on projects with other wineries.

True southern spirit

Our new favourite!
Posted by Ilona Roberts on
Our new favourite wine is the one to try now the sun has returned. Think blue skies, azure ocean, stunning coastline and you are in South Africa, the home of Zevenwacht. An elegant wine with elderflower, gooseberry and green fig notes. With a mineral quality and lingering finish, this Sauvignon Blanc comes from a family owned estate on the Stellenbosch Wine Route. Pairing beautifully with seafood, it is this week’s must have!
