October 19th Tasting: Wines from Waterkloof, South Africa.
This will be presented by Louis Boutinot, longtime global evangelist for this industry-leading, enviro-conscious and very classy winery.
Waterkloof is an independent, organic and regenerative wine estate owned by former sommelier, wine importer and French wine producer Paul Boutinot.
This stellar estate, situated a stones-throw from Cape Town and its wild, windswept Atlantic Ocean coastline, has somehow managed to attain the largest number of features of any wine producer, not only in Decanter's Weekday Wine Section (Decanter is the UK's most subscribed hard-copy wine publication), but also in Jancis Robinson MW's 'Wine of The Week' page on the UK's most subscribed wine website jancisrobinson.com (Jancis is Financial Times wine writer and a wine advisor for The Royal Family).
Louis Boutinot (Paul's son) will be here with stories and insight a plenty, all served alongside a selection of fine, distinctive, food-friendly wines handcrafted in tiny quantities by talented young winemaker Nadia Langenegger and her team at Waterkloof.
£15 a ticket, £10 refundable against orders placed on the night (minimum £100 value). 7pm Thursday 19th October in the De Mornay Room, The Manor House, Howbery Park.
