This public tasting gives wine enthusiasts the opportunity to taste collectors’ wines crafted exclusively in small volumes for the 2016 Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Auction by the Guild’s 47 members.
In addition to tasting this year’s CWG auction line-up prior to the auction taking place in Stellenbosch on Saturday, 1 October, the Showcase provides an interactive platform to engage with the winemakers. The members of the Guild will also be presenting some offerings sold under their own labels.
Showcase-goers will have the opportunity of contributing towards the Nedbank Cape Winemakers Guild Development Trust by bidding on rare signed bottles from previous Guild auctions during the Silent Auction. Founded in 1999, the Development Trust seeks to transform the wine industry by educating, training and empowering young talent through initiatives such as the Protégé Programme, a mentorship scheme for upcoming winemakers and viticulturists.
