Not every day do you get to taste Louis Latour with Michael Fridjhon. 🍷
Chef Gustaaf joined a special Louis Latour Barrel Tasting hosted by Reciprocal W**e Company at Lourensford W**e Estate — an exceptional lineup of Burgundies poured in Riedel glasses, from village to Grand Cru.
Savigny-lès-Beaune, Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, Château Corton Grancey, Chambolle-Musigny “Charmes”, Corton “Perrières” and more… a rare chance to experience one of Burgundy’s great houses up close.
Privileged moments like these are what make the Cape W**elands so special.

Join us on 1 October for an exceptional evening of Cap Classique at Lourensford.
Taste your way through 10 vintages, presented by Cellarmaster Hannes Nel — a celebration of time, craftsmanship and the art of Méthode Cap Classique.
With recent accolades adding to the occasion, including Cuvée 117 being awarded the Michelangelo Cap Classique Trophy and our Brut Blanc 2020 receiving Double Gold, there is much to raise a glass to.
After the tasting, linger a little longer as we celebrate the season with a harvest table under the stars — oysters to start, a long table to share, and seasonal fruit pavlova to close. Full menu in the images.
