Lourensford Barrel tasting 20080905

The Lourensford barrel tasting has become somewhat of a tradition to attend by at least one of the Van Pepper crew.
We have photos from last year's event with purple tongues... Happy memories!
This year M attended with some friends. It was once again a delightful evening. The 2008 Shiraz shows a lot of potential, some dark fruity, peppery, smoky flavours... definitely worth waiting for! (But beware if you drink too much from the barrel - the tongue turns purple!)
Assistant wine maker, Hannes, was spotted giving some foody tips in the latest issue of Weg. Seems these guys are multi-talented!
PS: Don't miss the Honey Liquer - a great accompaniment to desserts. Very sweet, so try with some ice and check out the funky packaging - they've won an award for that.
