On 17 October our first food and w**e pairing brought together three passionate partners - 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔, 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒚 & 𝑩𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝑺𝑷𝑰́𝑹𝑰𝑻𝑶 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒂 - around a five-course journey celebrating fire, food, w**e, spirits and the people who make these experiences special.

At the heart of ESPÍRITO's food and w**e pairings is a celebration of Namibia's unique local flavours and culinary heritage, and how carefully chosen w**es can bring these flavours to life.

A huge thank you to:

* Chris and Mari Schumann of Chrismann Bakery & Bistro in Swakopmund;
* their amazing chef Izak de Klerk and his team for bringing the food to life;
* the House of Wines for supplying the beautiful w**es and spirits;
* 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 and 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨, who sponsored the w**es and spirits, and
* especially to every guest who joined us around the table!

For me personally, this is what it is all about: creating memorable experiences, discovering how food and w**e come together, and bringing people closer through a shared love of both.

And this is just the beginning! ❤️

If you love vanilla, creamy toffee and ripe dark berries with a touch of spice… you’ll want to get to know this one!
Made from 100% single-vineyard Pinotage in Stellenbosch, this beautifully matured red spends 18 months in French oak barrels, adding depth and complexity to its generous dark-fruit character.
The perfect partner for a juicy rump steak, a hearty, slow-cooked stew or a rich, decadent chocolate dessert.
And if you have the patience to let it age, this w**e has the potential to reward you for years to come!

This truly exceptional Old Vine Chenin Blanc - also colloquially known as Steen - comes from the Stellenbosch region in South Africa's w**elands.
Groenland’s **Steenkamp range** is named after the family behind these w**es, with a name that pays homage to both their heritage and to Chenin Blanc’s historic South African name, Steen.

A beautiful example of what this wonderfully versatile grape can do.

A Cabernet Sauvignon glaze for your next braai 🥩🍷

With Braai Day around the corner, we’ve got the perfect way to give your steak a little something extra – a Cabernet Sauvignon & balsamic glaze.

You’ll need:
- 250 ml Org de Rac Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1–2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 sprig rosemary
- Salt & black pepper

Method:
Simmer the Cabernet, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic and rosemary over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until reduced and syrupy. Remove the rosemary, stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper.

Brush the glaze over your steak during the last few minutes on the braai and enjoy! 🔥

And of course, you’ll need a bottle of Cabernet to make the glaze… and another to enjoy with your steak. 😉

🛒 Order your Org de Rac Cabernet Sauvignon online and make sure it arrives in time for Braai Day. https://orgderac.com/product/cab-estate-2023/
