Young Guns 3 - The future of SA winemaking

This June and July, Wine Cellar will once again be hosting the country's most exciting and irreverent annual wine event - Young Guns. Now in its third year, Young Guns introduces winemakers who are pushing the boundaries, flouting convention and embracing 'natural' winemaking. Whilst all of the participating winemakers work for notable estates, they are also producing unique, interesting and sometimes wacky wines under their own labels. Young Guns lll will be held on the 12th of June at The River Club in Observatory, Cape Town and on 4 July at Sol Kerzner School of Hospitality and Tourism in Johannesburg. Forget stuffy tastings - there will be music, there will be wine and there will be many a bearded Swartlander.

Expect this year's tastings to be bigger and better than ever before. The line-up will be a mix of new and old faces, including husband-and-wife team Chris and Susan Alheit of Alheit Vineyards. After wowing the audience at Young Guns 2012, they went on to achieve international acclaim and to receive five stars in Platter - South Africa's veritable wine bible. They'll present their wines alongside seven other talented renegades.
