Location: Alliance Française du Cap – 155 Loop Street
R 400 per personAre blends truly superior to single varietals… or is it just a myth?
Ever notice how a lone Cabernet feels a bit heavy? Enter the blend: Merlot softens it, Cab Franc adds spice. Bordeaux magic equals structure, balance, that electric tension. Rhône does it too with Grenache’s fruit hugged by Syrah’s smoke. South Africa’s Cape Blend? Pinotage’s fire with Cabernet’s grip, maybe a wild Cinsault twist. Blending isn’t compromise; it’s heart-meets-soul art. The same goes for white wines too.
Blends just sing louder than solos. Taste and see.
Join us for an immersive tasting evening exploring the fascinating world of wine blending. Discover how winemakers craft harmony, balance, and complexity by combining varietals and decide for yourself where the truth lies.
