Praisy Dlamini


Die Bergkelder, the famous cellar in the mountain and home of Fleur du Cap in Stellenbosch, has lined up a new programme of specialised monthly tastings including a light supper for an inspiring upfront and personal wine experience with the winemakers.

Taste Fleur du Cap’s internationally acclaimed wines and experience the unbridled expression of nature on Thursday, 4 October when Praisy Dlamini, one of the first young winemakers to graduate from the Cape Winemakers Guild Protégé Programme before joining the team at Die Bergkelder, takes you on a comparative tasting of the Fleur du Cap Bergkelder Selection and the award winning Unfiltered range.

Shaped by a “hands-off” approach in the cellar and made in a style determined by the grapes themselves, Fleur du Cap Unfiltered wines are set apart by their sheer elegance and abundance of fruit and flavour.

The Bergkelder Selection is known for fine quality, good value and wines that truly reflect their varietal character.

The comparative Fleur du Cap tasting on Thursday, 4 October, will be held at Die Bergkelder Wine Centre.

The experience costs R80 per person and includes the tasting and light supper. The evening starts at 17h30 for 18h00. Places are limited so booking is essential. Call Tel: 021 809 8025.

This tasting forms part of a series of Thursday tasting evenings on offer at Die Bergkelder covering a wide selection of wines, fortified wines and brandies. There are lucky draw prizes up for grabs for anyone who purchases wines on the evening.

Conveniently situated in Stellenbosch, Die Bergkelder Wine Centre offers a wide selection of fine wines and spirits at competitive prices with knowledgeable and experienced staff eager to offer advice and assistance.
