SAVOUR A TASTE OF SOUTH AFRICAN HERITAGE AT SPIER
∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙
UNTIL 31 OCTOBER
SPIER WINE FARM
In honour of Heritage Day, Spier is proud to present a limited-edition Wine & Food Tasting Experience. The tasting platter was inspired by traditional South African culinary dishes that bring comfort and delight to so many.
There are nine delicious nibbles to indulge in, starting with light, fluffy pumpkin fritters served with a sweet amazi gel and raisin chutney and followed by a vibrant thyme & honey beetroot salad tossed in a fynbos vinaigrette.
Next up, you’ll be treated to traditional chakalaka and pap served with cabbage, chili and curry accompaniments and Cape Malay inspired bunny chow.
Of course, no South African tasting would be complete without a flavourful boerewors roll or samp and bean salad. The platter rounds off with a tasty biltong happie, spiced milk tart and crunchy koeksister.
The platter is served alongside our four award-winning wines from the 21 Gables Range. This includes the Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Each single varietal wine is an expression of the vintage, terroir and tells the story of the land. More than 96 years later, this uniquely South African varietal is celebrated as a South African gem and a firm favourite at Spier.
True to character yet distinctive in style, the 21 Gables Pinotage offers a beautifully balanced and complex wine that will last beyond the decade.
This platter and wine pairing will cost you R185 per person. Reservations are advised.
