David Sadie – recognised as making some of South Africa’s best Grenache and in the forefront of the Swartland wine making revolution – is the special guest at Wine Menu’s first wine tutorial for 2017.
The David Sadie Grenache Masterclass takes place at the La Vie en Rose restaurant at the Killarney Country Club on Wednesday, April 5, at 6pm.
Sadie, together with his wife Nadia, has proved his outstanding winemaking abilities, achieving several 5-star awards over the last few years including Best White Wine of the Year for his Hoë Steen Chenin Blanc 2015, as awarded in the Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016.
Respected wine journalist Tim James recently rated David & Nadia among the top 20 South African producers (based on a yearly questionnaire that he sends out to wine journalists, sommeliers and retailers in South Africa and overseas) and Vinum, a Swiss-based magazine, that offers wine reviews, news and editorials to readers across Europe, scored the David & Nadia Aristargos 18.5 points out of 20 - which positions it somewhere between Outstanding (18 points) and First Class (19 points). Articles in Vinum are written by 15 freelance writers that rate and score wines on a 20-point scale.
Tickets for the event are R300 per person and include tastings of some of David Sadie's other wines as well as a selection of canapés beforehand. There is seating for 60 people only and with over half that number already sold on the day booking opened, there are a limited number still available.
