What does the South African wine industry actually do for the communities around it? @gregsherwoodmw went to find out in the Hemel-en-Aarde and discovered a remarkable project backed in part by generous wineries: winemag.co.za/food/articles/…

Benchmarked with the ‘21 earlier this week. New vintage arrived today. I’ve come a full decade with @restlessriverRR with great joy, & great expectations. All of which has been met. Consistence, elegance, greatness. Always.

Sunday Lunch with the family and @restlessriverRR 2018 Cabernet is starting to show its full potential, an outstanding wine sourced from 2 single vineyards, but this will continue to excel over the next decade or so, whilst the Chardonnay 2020 is drinking perfectly such poise with a flinty edge & perfectly balanced retained stone fruit @liberty_wines
