David was taking a quick break from the dynamic world of the theatre. A technical stage manager – travelling around the UK bringing the theatre to different regions in the UK.
As we have have just under 700 wine farms to choose from, David was keen to hire a guide to assist him get the most from exploring the wine region in a day.
Beginning at one of my favourites – Vergelegen. A great introduction to the history of the wine region.
Also home to these camphor trees – 300 hundred years old!
Not too far is Ken Forrester wine estate. “The king of chenin blanc” reports our wine host Annemie Siebrits, as she pours the chenin blanc range of unwooded, light-wooded and barrel fermented.
David has expensive tastes – his favourite is the barrel-fermented chenin blanc!
We spent the rest of the day leisurely visiting Rust en Vrede, Tokara and Moreson.
Two more favourites to add to David’s list – Tokara olive oil and Moreson Methode Cap Classique!
This was David’s first visit to Cape Town and I am confident not his last!
