Get the New Year into gear and head off to
Hartenberg Wine Estate in the Stellenbosch Winelands for the annual Riesling Rocks Festival, which
takes place on Saturday,
25 January 2014. Taste the finest flagship Rieslings from South
Africa’s top wine producers paired with gourmet deli fare.
Celebrated Hartenberg winemaker, Carl
Shultz, regarded as one of the country’s finest Riesling masters, has invited
the crème de la crème of cellars to showcase their premium Weisser/Rhine
Rieslings at this fabulous food and wine celebration.
Regarded
as one of the most versatile of all wines, Riesling is the perfect partner to
just about any type of food. Dry style Rieslings enhance the flavours of a wide
range of dishes from sushi and gravadlax to oysters and antipasti.
Off-dry Rieslings make excellent pairings with spicier foods such as Thai
prawns, chorizo or even herring and roll mops, with the sweeter Rieslings
ideally suited to cutting through rich foods such as pâtés and terrines, duck and roast pork, and
perfect for curries. Rieslings also make fine dessert wines ideally suited to
fruit tarts, cheeses, pecan nut pie and even a tangy lemon tart.
Be sure not to miss out on this wine and
food extravaganza, set up in a garden party theme, perfectly suited to the long
summer days in January, where festival goers will be able to sample these fine
wines between 12pm
and 5pm on Saturday, 25 January. Tickets cost R120 per person, available
directly from www.webtickets.co.za.,
includes all tastings and a complementary tasting glass. Live entertainment
will make for a memorable experience and to ensure you don’t go hungry
delicious treats will be available for purchase from the various deli stalls on
the day.
