Wine Clubs Discover Layers of Flavour at Solms-Delta Print E-mail

Want something a little off the beaten track for your next wine club function or class? 
Lovers of unusual blends will delight in customised group wine tastings at Solms-Delta, the Franschhoek wine estate.

Winemaker Hilko Hegewisch—available as a speaker at the wine club gatherings—is adventurous, always assessing new grape combinations. His latest search has resulted in an innovative white Cape Blend of Chenin Blanc, once SA’s most widely planted varietals, Clairette Blanche, and Semillon, known as Green Grape in Van Riebeeck’s day and first planted in Franschhoek some 300 years ago.

Solms-Delta estate can accommodate groups of various sizes, and can customise the visit to the group’s requirements and interest. Both the winemaker and the museum director are available as speakers. Wine is available for purchase at cellar door prices.
