Nederburg Dinner by Aspri Spirits

I attended the Nederburg Wine Dinner at Pali Village Cafe recently hosted by Aspri Spirits. Jacobus Whilhem Pienaar, Wine Maker at Nederburg and Jan De Bruyn from Distell co hosted the event. It was an interesting evening drinking wines I am quite well versed with. The Nederburg Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Pinotage were all great and kept coming all through out the dinner.

We had an interesting conversation with Jacobus on the style of wines preferred in India and the price we as consumers are willing to pay in general. Having worked directly with Distell while I was at Sula Vineyards it was great to interact with the team again. Conrad Dsouza at Pali Village Cafe put together an outstanding menu, the most notable of which was the dessert which had Amarula as its base.

Rajeev Samant unveils Sula’s new range of beautifully packaged sparkling wines

All Things Nice was invited to Sula Vineyards for a celebration that marked the rebranding of Sula’s sparklers. The new labels are cleaner and more in tune with what we would look for in a label today. Rajeev conducted a tasting of their Brut, Brut Rose and Seco speaking briefly of Sula’s history and the Indian wine market in general. The Tasting Cellar in place of Sula’s bottling room is new too. Exposed brick, warm lighting, a sprinkle of barrels and a very long tasting table makes this a winner giving us another great reason to visit the winery.
