Every now and then I have a wine that makes we wish I’d gone for a rating system that was to more than one decimal place. There’s something missing from this wine that means an 8 seems to high, but a 7 is an injustice. The best bet is to drink this with food from the amazing Gabriëlskloof restaurant, then it’s definitely an 8/10.
I am not a wine expert. I am not in the wine industry. I can get a bit pretentious when describing wine sometimes, and other times I can't think of a word to describe what I'm tasting. I do love wine, drink a lot of it, live in the Western Cape of South Africa and visit a lot of wine farms though.
Hopefully this site will help strangers to SA wine pick a good bottle over a bad one, and visit the better wine farms that I've enjoyed. At worst, at least I will be able to use it to remember what is was I was drinking last night!
