One last masterclass before we pour our final glasses 🌿

Tomorrow at 1pm, Written in Stone asks a simple question: how much does the ground itself change what is in your glass? Four single-vineyard w**es, four different soils, from decomposed granite to Paarl schist to stony Tulbagh ground, each one leaving its mark:

🥂 Eight Gates W**e Chenin Blanc Tulbagh 2024
🥂 Schultz Family W**es Chardonnay Heldervue Stellenbosch 2025
🍷 Klein Graniet No.42 Mourvédre Stellenbosch 2021
🍷 Ahrens Family W**es Ahrens Regional Soils of Paarl Red (Tissue) Paarl 2023

Terroir before technique. Come taste the difference the soil makes, then take your favourite home with you.

Still time to enter our competition for the chance to win a magnum of something special too.

Tomorrow, the first pour.

This tasting brings together four small, family-run producers helping shape the next chapter of South African w**e. Across different regions, varieties and styles, each reflects a distinct sense of place, a hands-on approach to w**emaking and the ambition to create exceptional w**es.

It’s a chance to explore the diversity of modern South African w**e through producers where family, provenance and individuality are very much part of the story.
