MANUKA SOUTHEYS NEWSFLASH!

Spring is Sprung, the Grass is Ris, I wonder where the sunshine is! It’s shining at Manuka, at least at the moment it is, anyway! But then, things are always hot and happening at Manuka. Just look at our calendar for this month.

The Friday and Saturday tastings are free, and the Paul Cluver dinner will be R99, including a soup or salad starter, followed by pizza or pasta, and tea/coffee, and includes service fee. The evening starts at 6.30 for 7.00, and booking is essential.

Also in the Wine Shop, we now have the Mountain Shadows Sauvignon Blanc to go with the Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines offer superb value at R19 pb or R200 for 12, mix and match included. Other great specials include Glen Carlou’s Tortoise Hill White at R38pb or R35pb if you buy 6 or more; the highly-acclaimed Saronsberg Provenance Rooi and Shiraz at R95pb or R85pb for 12 or more; Glen Carlou Syrah 2006 at R115pb or R105 for 12 or more (also mix and match).

We have most of the Old Mutual Trophy winners in stock, including the “Discovery of the Show” KC Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, a steal at only R52pb.

 

There are lots of new Sauvignon Blancs for summer, and some great Rosés – did you know that Rosé outsold white wine in France this summer? So when it’s hot outside, you can still be cool this summer - pick up a beautiful rosé, or even better, buy your loved one a whole bunch of rosés!

We look forward to seeing you soon.
Best regards,
Stephen, Alison, Morné and Team Manuka!
