Join Fleur du Cap for a unique wine and salt tasting experience at Die Bergkelder in Stellenbosch and take home beautifully packaged artisanal salt with your festive season wine purchases.
Fleur du Cap has assembled a brand-new collection of local and international artisanal salts available exclusively to visitors at Die Bergkelder. Paired with Fleur du Cap wines these beautifully designed salt boxes make the ultimate gift for any wine lover or foodie looking to experiment with adventurous pairings.
The daily pairings at Die Bergkelder have been created with the ultimate care and precision to meld and enhance every wine with a food morsel and artisanal salt.
Among the selection of five wines and pairings is the award-winning Fleur du Cap Noble Late Harvest paired with caramel fudge and sprinkled with Red Alea salt. This Hawaiian salt softens the sugary fudge and enriches the fruit components of the Platter’s 5-star dessert wine. Local Khoisan Flaked sea salt with sundried tomatoes and matured Gouda is the pairing of choice for Fleur du Cap Unfiltered Cabernet 2011. The sundried tomatoes add sweetness to the wine while the cheese softens the tannins.
The other wine and salt pairings are Unfiltered Sauvignon Blanc 2014 with Kala Namak seasoned wild rice dolmades; Unfiltered Chardonnay 2013 with Black Lava salt and green olive tapenade; and Unfiltered Merlot 2011 with Himalayan salt, chicken liver pâté and caramelised onion.
The newly designed artisanal salt boxes are available for purchase at R30 per box, whilst the salted fudge sells for R35 per box.
The Fleur du Cap Wine and Salt tastings, available Mondays to Fridays between 09h00 and 17h30 and Saturdays between 09h00 and15h30, cost R85 per person.
