RIESLING ROCKS RETURNS TO
HARTENBERG WINE ESTATE
25th JANUARY 2014
Get the New Year into gear and head off to Hartenberg
Wine Estate in the Stellenbosch Winelands for the annual Riesling Rocks
Festival, which takes place on Saturday, 25 January 2014. Taste the
finest flagship Rieslings from South Africa’s top wine producers paired with
gourmet deli fare.
Celebrated Hartenberg winemaker, Carl Shultz, regarded
as one of the country’s finest Riesling masters, has invited the crème de la
crème of cellars to showcase their premium Weisser/Rhine Rieslings at this
fabulous food and wine celebration.
Regarded as one of the most
versatile of all wines, Riesling is the perfect partner to just about any type
of food. Dry style Rieslings enhance the flavours of a wide range of dishes
from sushi and gravadlax to oysters and antipasti. Off-dry Rieslings make
excellent pairings with spicier foods such as Thai prawns, chorizo or even
herring and roll mops, with the sweeter Rieslings ideally suited to cutting
through rich foods such as pâtés and terrines, duck and roast pork, and perfect for curries. Rieslings
also make fine dessert wines ideally suited to fruit tarts, cheeses, pecan nut
pie and even a tangy lemon tart.
Be sure not to miss out on this wine and food
extravaganza, set up in a garden party theme, perfectly suited to the long
summer days in January, where festival goers will be able to sample these fine
wines between 12pm and 5pm on Saturday, 25 January. Tickets cost R120 per person, available
directly from www.webtickets.co.za.,
includes all tastings and a complementary tasting glass. Live entertainment
will make for a memorable experience and to ensure you don’t go hungry
delicious treats will be available for purchase from the various deli stalls on
the day.
