Sunday, 7 April, 10h00
– 15h00, The Market at Val de Vie
Seize the moment with
an exclusive pairing of Pongrácz and fine, handmade chocolates at The Market at
Val de Vie near Paarl on Sunday, 7 April.
Visitors will be
treated to a singular taste experience of three specially fashioned chocolates
custom-made to bring out the unique flavour profile of Pongrácz, Pongrácz Rosé
and the award winning signature Desiderius Pongrácz.
The taste experience
starts off with the flirtatious and lively Pongrácz Rosé and a delicate Rose
Geranium milk chocolate. The smooth cocoa and milk chocolate adds a hint of
sweetness and lifts the fresh berry notes of the seductive Cap Classique. The
romantic embrace of pure roses as the rose geranium flavour of the chocolate
infuses into the Rosé leaves a delightfully refreshing and lusciously
invigorating finish.
Next up, the crisp
Pongrácz stalwart is paired with a velvety Roasted Almond and Lime white
chocolate. The roasted almonds accentuate the biscuit and baked bread nuttiness
whilst the lime lifts the fresh citrus and zest of the Pongrácz. Savour the
full fruit and complexity of this delightful Cap Classique with all the
flavours in perfect harmony.
An irresistible Hot
Plum white chocolate is the alter ego of the luxurious prestige cuvée,
Desiderius Pongrácz 2003. The chocolate, with its full fruit on the nose and
warm, tingling cayenne pepper on the palate, embraces this charismatic
signature Cap Classique. A melding of flavours with great complexity, this
combination is a wonderful mouthful of smooth creaminess and an explosion of
tastes erupting in stages. The finish is divinely elegant and keeps the palate
yearning for more.
A Pongrácz and oyster
tasting will also be on offer at this not-to-be missed event.
The Pongrácz and
chocolate pairing costs R50 per person. The Market at Val de Vie, a fresh goods and craft market,
showcases some of the finest local produce from the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley.
It provides the ideal platform for vendors to promote their wares and grow
their businesses, in a beautiful setting that is recognised as one of South
Africa’s top destinations.
The Market at Val de
Vie takes place from 10h00 to
15h00 on alternate weekends during April and May. The next market dates are: 7
April, 14 April, 19 May and 26 May 2013.
