STELLENRUST WINE DINNER
Saturday 3 June
his event proved just how versatile
the Gardens Bistro is. Having
hosted sports in the pub that
Tafternoon and then a fabulous
wine tasting in the evening, our Clubhouse
is proving to be a fabulous social hub for
Fourways Gardens!
Our intrepid wine tasters were welcomed
with a glass of Stellenrust Clement de Lure
before being shown to their seats. Assistant
winemaker Barend Erasmus guided the
tasting.
The light-bodied Cinsault followed the 57
Chenin Blanc, named after the age of this
varietal’s vineyard. The Timeless Bordeaux
blend garnered many requests for extra
tastings and was a clear favourite on the
night.
Along with the Cornerstone Pinotage and
the Douwe Steyn Cabernet Sauvignon, our
guests enjoyed sampling a wide variety of
wines. To round off the night, the Chenin
d’ Muscat dessert wine accompanied the
cheese board desserts perfectly.
Facilitated by Mario Montero from MJM
Wine Co, orders were seamlessly delivered
to our residents – and some late orders
were even accommodated.
One lucky winner walked away with the
much-envied Tyson hamper, which came
complete with a bottle of Stellenrust
wine, and was presented by sponsors
Dee Thomas and Grant Raw from Tyson
Properties Fourways.
