Favourite dish from a great lunch at Camphors restaurant @vergelegen _wine_estate: roast hake with shellfish , sweetcorn and some other clever and delicious bits which went incredibly well with their 2015 chardonnay as you’d expect but EVEN better with a sublime 2014 semillon. #guest. . . . #hake #fish #seafood #sweetcorn #chardonnay #semillon #finedining #foodandwine #capewinelands #presstripMurray Barlow of @rustenbergwines and the Chenin grapes drying for his luscious straw wine. #sawine #presstrip. . . . #wine #winery #rustenberg #stellenbosch #cheninblanc #strawwine #dessertwine #winestagram #southafricanwineSometimes you just can’t beat a steak and a cab. Ribeye and chips @fatbutcher_sa . 2015 cabernet from @erikaobermeyer_wines, South African wine guide @wineonaplatter’s 2019 Newcomer of the Year and a real find.
