THE SWARTLAND REVOLUTION: 12 - 13 November 2010
Over the past 15 years the Swartland region has grown in stature and complexity and today there are enough contrasting wines to showcase this diversity over a weekend.
The aim of the revolutionary weekend is to raise general awareness of the area, and although there might be stylistic and philosophical differences in the wines to be showcased, they all share a common sense of place – as with all great wine regions of the world.
For the first forum we have invited Stefan Ogier from Domaine Michel & Stéphane Ogier from Ampuis, France. He is a world-renowned producer of fine Rhône wine.
There will also be tastings conducted by some of the local producers in formal and informal formats. (see our Programme page for more info)
The event will also see the official launch of The Swartland Independent, an all-inclusive forum that serves as a current communication platform for the diverse producers of the area.
The first revolution is set to take place in the town of Riebeek Kasteel is over weekend of the 12 & 13th of November 2010.
