Werdenberg Int'l. Corp Holds Intimate Wine Tasting Event Featuring the DGB Group Of South Africa

Easing off while taking a mental note of the aroma, character and taste of each wine you were introduced to so far, the delicate and feminine appearance of a pink wine is so inviting. But do not be deceived. BRAMPTON ROSÉ is no one-dimensional wine. Its sophistication makes it an extremely versatile food-wine and can be enjoyed in all dining occasions or on its own. Enticing wine lovers with its perfumed nose pointing to watermelon, raspberry, strawberry and red cherries to round up a decent follow through to the palate.

A dry finish becomes more pleasing by the concentrated flavours.

Brampton RosÉ can be paired with anything

Still trying to figure out whether it was a stroke of destiny or clearly déjà vu, wine tasting can be just as wavering. But, there is always that one wine will make you forget about the others for a moment as it displays a stunning liquid gold which offers natural sweetness like that of the BOSCHENDAL VIN D’Or. The result of blending Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Rousanne and Grenache Blanc altogether. There is spiced vanilla alongside baked red apple, tropical pineapple and honeysuckle aromas. On the palate, it is rich and viscous. That’s how Boschendal Vin D’Or is, delicious on its own or with something sweet or indeed savoury.

TUNING IN

Coming away from a wine tasting event feeling great about it and yourself with no real clarity as to why, perhaps it’s time to recall the bottle from where all the tasting pour began. Brilliant for social drinking or with anything from fresh summer salads to pan-fried fish and savoury Mediterranean pastas, the BRAMPTON SAUVIGNON BLANC (100%) displays a fairly unique array of flavours. The initial impression is subtle yet extremely focused with prominent pear, passion fruit, yellow peach and pineapple fruit aromas that expand further on the palate to a crisp clean finish that will keep you coming back… and coming back.
