Fleur du Cap Unfiltered Merlot with green olive pesto,
smoked prosciutto, salted fudge, sun dried tomatoes with Gouda and dolmades
Discover a unique new
Fleur du Cap wine tasting experience, pairing wines with artisanal, salted
delicacies offered daily at Die Bergkelder where handmade morsels meld
seamlessly with hands-off, naturally crafted wines.
With close affinity to
their natural surroundings, Fleur du Cap wines lend themselves perfectly to
pairings with nature’s gifts of unrefined salts. Using locally sourced savoury
treats, prepared using traditional methods such as curing with salt, the new
Fleur du Cap tasting experience accentuates the inherent flavours of each
superbly balanced wine.
Served on salt blocks,
the daily savoury parings on offer at Die Bergkelder include five Fleur du Cap
wines. The refreshingUnfiltered Sauvignon Blanc is partnered with
sulphuric salt and dolmades made with
wild rice, followed by the Unfiltered Chardonnay paired with
rich green olive pesto and Black Lava Salt from the lava pools of Hawaii. The
robust Unfiltered Merlotcreates a sublime pairing with flavoursome
prosciutto or chicken liver pâté with caramelised Onions and Murray River salt,
whilst the elegant Fleur du Cap Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon is
paired with full flavoured sun dried tomatoes and six month matured Gouda
cheese and Khoisan salt. To round off this unique tasting experience, Fleur
du Cap Noble Late Harvest paired with delicious Maldon salted fudge,
will have your taste buds wanting for more.
The Fleur du Cap Wine
and Salt tastings are offered daily at R75 per person from Mondays to Saturdays
between 09h00 and 16h30 at Die Bergkelder in Stellenbosch. For bookings,
