The gist of it: Juliet Cullinan has once again handpicked a vitrine of South Africa's most celebrated producers to showcase their best vintages at the most exclusive, longest running wine event throughout South Africa. Small and select, the festival is known for presenting vintages of distinction and quality in an elegant setting.
Ms Cullinan created this unique marketing platform to acknowledge and celebrate the skills of talented individual winemakers. It's the second year that the SAWTC will use this exclusive wine platform to allow wine lovers to test their tasting ability.
Visitors to the festival can taste and identify 30 wines in unlabelled decanters at the SAWTC stand. The SAWTC is not only a great occasion to test your palate with your friends; it also gives you an opportunity to be selected for the South African team that will be flying to Provence for the World Championships in October 2016.
The 2016 Juliet Cullinan Standard Bank Wine Festival takes place at Summer Place in Hyde Park and is open to the public on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 July 2016 from 17.00–21.00. Tickets are available from Webtickets.
