· 1 min read
Winemag.co.za is pleased to announce the third Cape White Blend Report, the focus being wines with a significant Chenin Blanc component, specifically greater than 15% but less than 85%.
Wines must be certified as South African and can be either wooded or unwooded.
Wines will be tasted blind by a three-person panel consisting of Christian Eedes as chairman as well as Roland Peens and James Pietersen, both of Wine Cellar, Cape Town merchants and cellarers of fine wine.
An entry fee of R862.50 per wine applies and entries close on Wednesday 21 November. Results will be made public on Tuesday 4 December.

The Portrait of a South African Winemaker
In James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus resolves to express himself "as freely as I can and as wholly as I can". Joyce's hero refuses to be just one thing.

Who will drink South African wine tomorrow?
Tomorrow’s wine drinker is already here, standing at the braai with a can in one hand and a phone in the other. South African wine still has time to join the occasion, although it may need to loosen its collar first.
