SUMMARY:Saturday Sipping Session - Blackwater Wines
DESCRIPTION:A life-long dream that’s a decade old now; a love for the natural sciences led founder Francois Haasbroek down the wine route. Studying viticulture and oenology (wine making) at Stellenbosch University was the first stop\, shortly followed by the formative experience of working under one of the greats of the industry\, Neil Ellis. In-between a handful of harvests at Dry Creek Vineyard\, Sonoma and Jackson Estate in Marlborough broadened the horizons a bit. \nThe following decade was spent working with Kevin Arnold at Waterford Estate in Stellenbosch\, specialising in producing ultra-premium Stellenbosch wines. The creative urge\, however\, was always to establish something from conceptualisation to execution one day…. that day came in 2012. \nHis vision was to make interesting and dynamic wines regardless of origin\, championing individual sites\, growers\, and cultivars; above all else\, the mission is to make wines that truly surprise in their elegance and complexity. \nCome and explore the following wines with us\nSophie 2022 – a heritage blend of Cabernet Franc And Cinsaut\nPleasure Garden Palomino 2021\nDaniel Grenache 2021\nCultellus Syrah 2019 \nFree for any over 18’s to join.\nNo need to reserve a seat

SUMMARY:Saturday Sipping Session - Craven Wines
DESCRIPTION:Craven Wines is a Stellenbosch-based\, new-wave project founded by husband-and-wife duo Mick and Jeanine Craven\, built on a philosophy of crafting honest\, site-specific wines with minimal intervention. Working exclusively with carefully selected vineyards across Stellenbosch — particularly granite-rich sites in areas like Polkadraai Hills and Faure — they focus on single-varietal\, single-site expressions that highlight purity\, freshness\, and a true sense of place. With a hands-off approach in the cellar (natural fermentations\, old oak\, and minimal additions)\, Craven Wines has become one of South Africa’s most exciting modern producers\, known for precise\, energetic wines that reflect both vineyard and vintage with striking clarity. \n\n\n\n\n\nPop into Wine Menu to sip on the Craven wines
