It was detention time again for South Africa’s star-studded team of talented tasters. The punishment brought more pleasure than pain, as we happily glugged away at another Cape red.
Michael Olivier introduced the 2020 Carmen Stevens Merlot to EY Cova’s Duane Newman, automotive legend Jeff Osborne, Cape Wine Master Debi van Flymen, broadcaster Cobus Bester and IT legend Malcolm Macdonald.
The panel also discussed the challenges of naming and glorifying South African wines without being too subservient to their European counterparts.
