In September, we hosted our Capturing the Cape tasting at Skurnik HQ. It was the first event focused exclusively on South African wine in almost four years, and the portfolio has grown considerably since then.
Esteemed winemakers flew in to pour their latest releases, including Peter-Allan Finlayson of Crystallum and Gabrielskloof, Alex Stary of Keermont Vineyards, Craig Wessels of Restless River, Marelise Niemann of Momento Wines, Jean Smit of Damascene Vineyards and Moya Meaker, and, at his first official Skurnik HQ event, Adi Badenhort of Saldanha Wine & Spirits Company and Caperitif.
The list didn’t stop there. We tasted through excellent bottles from Steenberg, Graham Beck, David & Nadia Wines, Leeu Passant, Great Heart, Joostenberg Wines, and Mullineux.
The atmosphere buzzed as guests tasted through a vibrant lineup of wines, each bottle telling a unique story of terroir and passion. From elegant Chenin Blancs to bold reds and innovative spirits, the Western Cape’s diversity and quality were on full display.
