A Barrel of Wine, Life and Laughs

Few things can evoke images of romance, prosperity and life in the way that a glass of fine wine can. For most people, the idea of one day having their own wine farm, growing noble cultivars and making fine wines, is one of utter bliss and contentment which unfortunatly for most remains nothing more than a dream. Strolling through lines of ancient looking vines heavy with rich, plump berries at the crack of dawn will definitely rate amongst the top 50 things most people woud want to do before they die.

“Firsts” for the “Berg”

It is that time of year again when paddlers from all over South Africa (and the world) flock to the beautiful Paarl region in the Western Cape to take on the mighty Bergriver.

The Bergriver Canoe Marathon, or the “Berg” as it has become known, has been described by many as being the “Comrades” of canoe races and will take place from the 9th to the 12th of July 2008.

It's run over a distance of approximately 240km and is regarded as one of the toughest canoe races in the world.

Rosé Festival to be held at Nelson Wine Estate

Regularly referred to as “summertime wines” or “Blush”, Rose wines have in general been perceived as a somewhat inferior category of wine, coming into being as a mere by-product during the production of red wines. This incorrect perception is changing and we have seen a resurgence in the demand for well-produced Rose wines that has not been seen since the seventies when the attractive pink wines were considered in vogue. Nelson Wine Estate, the proud producer of a wonderfully dry Cabernet/Merlot Rose, plans to launch a further two very distinctive Rose wines during the course of this year. The wines will be produced by Lisha Nelson and will be introduced under her label, Lisha Nelson Signature Wines.
