Ray’s Kitchen grape expectations

On Tuesday, 23 May, we had the great pleasure of hosting some of South Africa’s best winemakers as well as some of Salt Rock’s most jovial wine lovers. Ray’s Kitchen served wine-friendly finger food such as salami and Gorgonzola bruschetta with praline pecans, delicately spiced lamb burgers, and asparagus arancini with sour cream and crispy capers.

night are as follows:

• Thelema Rabelais: A true classic in the making to rival South Africa’s best cabernet. It has amazing concentration and power but is still poised and balanced. This is one for the cellar indeed. It made a lasting impression.

I had the chance to catch up with some old friends from the Cape and try a few new vintages of old favourites and exciting new wines. The wine from the

• Kaapzicht The 1947 Chenin: Some of the oldest Chenin vines in the country create a wine that can’t be replicated and delivers incredible fruit, acidity, and depth. A must-have for lovers of benchmark South African white wines

• Waterford Rosemary: This wine has long been one of my favourite rosés. Once again, I was reminded of how well-suited, well-made rosé is for food - especially the Mediterranean varieties used in Rosemary. Savoury and dry with flashes of red fruit, it’s perfect for Saturday afternoon braaied fish and gorgeous with well-dressed salads. • Ataraxia cinsault: Kevin is already one of our most cherished pinot noir and chardonnay producers, but his latest cinsault release shows just how finessed this old workhorse of a grape can be when given a deft touch.

Groendruif: I have a growing appreciation for Semillon and this is one of the best I’ve had in a while. Fun and approachable in style, it would be a suitable partner for so many plates of food and good times.

Other winemakers to mention are Trizanne Barnard and her incredible range of wines from some of our most interesting wards in the Cape. She really is dynamite and makes some incredible wines at staggering value. Look out for her various labels.
