South African Wine Evening in Ballymaloe

      

A South African Afternoon in Ballymaloe

Sparkling Wine, White wine, Red Wine & Olive Oil

Followed by a traditional South African Braai (BBQ)

with Niels Verburg, of Luddite Wines, Bot River, Walker Bay, South Africa

featuring a tutored tasting by Niels of his award winning wines, and Olive Oil

We will also be serving a glass of South African sparkling wine on arrival – these bottles of sparkling wine will be opened by Niels, who will be demonstrating the art of ‘Sabrage’, a technique for opening a bottle of Sparkling Wine with a sabre!

After this will be a tutored tasting by Niels of white wine, red wines and finally some tastings of his Olive Oil

Immediately following the Luddite wine presentation & tasting, there will be a traditional South African Braai with Wildside’s Ted Berner (please note this will be priced separately to the wine event) and entertainment by local musicians – all making for a really nice evening for all to enjoy.

Niels and Penny Verburg established Luddite Wines in 1999, a small family-run wine farm. Some people describe Luddite Shiraz as Niels Verburg contained in a glass; Niels is six foot four and when he smiles appears to be beaming an embrace in your direction! ‘Niels Verburg’s wine captures real elegance and intricacy’ Decanter Wine Magazine, Jan 2012
