Win with Zandvliet Wine Estate

Zandvliet Wine Estate, on the outskirts of Ashton in the Robertson Valley, plays an illustrious role in the narrative of the South African wine industry. Proclaimed as a farm in 1838, Zandvliet counts among the very first farms to bottle Shiraz. One of its distinguishing characteristics is a small range of low limestone hills on the southern outskirts of the farm, bringing the special magic to its kalkveld (calcareous earth) terroir. Their flagship Kalkveld Shiraz has now inspired the development of the Kalkveld Lounge, an intricately designed tasting room which significantly augments the area’s tourism offering.

Here you can also try your hand at blending your own wine with the guidance of winemaker Jacques Cilliers. Your very own blend is bottled and labelled for you – ready to be taken home for the next celebratory event.

Flowing from the passion for the ClemenGold fruit (which grows shoulder to shoulder in Zandvliet soil) ClemenGold Gin was born. Nine botanicals – with sundried ClemenGold peels taking the flavour lead – are used when distilling this handcrafted gin.  ClemenGold and orange peel, cinnamon, honey, ground almond, juniper berries, angelica and orris root, and coriander are macerated and vapour-infused to bring gin aficionados this smooth Classic Cape Dry style gin with subtle hints of citrus.

The prize of R25 000 includes flights from Johannesburg, Bloemfontein or Durban to Cape Town, shuttle services, accommodation, dinner and breakfast and weekend passes to the event.  Entries open 1 August.
