Diemersfontein Pinotage On Tap: 24 October 2009

Think about this for a moment. A party in the Winelands with live music, a giant chocolate fountain and a non-stop supply of pinotage. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? This is what you can expect at the annual Pinotage On Tap (POT) celebration, which is taking place on 24 October 2009 at Diemersfontein Wine and Country Estate in Wellington.

This year’s event features performances by popular Cape Town rockers aKing, one-man band Lonesome Dave Ferguson and Haydn Gardner’s swing band. For R230 per person you can enjoy Diemersfontein Pinotage, canapés, a snack-pack goodie bag and fantastic live music. And, don’t forget the chocolate fountain and strawberries.

Diemersfontein Pinotage - The Coffee/Chocolate Pinotage

Known as ‘The People’s Pinotage’ and ‘The Coffee/Chocolate Pinotage’, the experts at Diemersfontein describe the wine as having ‘rich coffee and smokey overtones on the nose’ with ‘fruity, spicey, cinnamon and chocolatey notes on the palate’. Adding to which, it can be paired with a range of different cuisines from curry and game meat to dark chocolate dessert. Add that magic to a party in the Winelands and you’ve got a winning formula. Only better, as you can take the pinotage home whenever you want by simply visiting www.ewine.co.za to buy the Diemersfontein Pinotage online.
