After the huge success and a sell out in stores, we realized that you love it to. The 2010 vintage is currently available in stores and the 2011 Chardonnay  is being meticulously crafted by Lourens. It is due for release early 2012. We can’t wait to taste it!

Lourens can’t seem to put a foot wrong when it comes to his wines and Woolworths wholeheartedly agrees. His 2010 Shiraz will be the second addition to the Arendsig range in Woolworths and will be in stores in September this year.  We are crazy about this wine and of course we had plenty of opportunity to taste this again, and again, and again.. We are confident that you will agree.

Cavendish Square featured the Parlotones Wines as part of their wine tasting section in the VIP lounge. Cape Wine Master and great friend to us, Allan Mullins, did a radio interview and wine tasting live on Cape Talk. Visitors of the show also had an oppertunity to partake in a winetasting, with Allan gracefully guiding them through all the wines.
We had the privilage of seeing Jonathan Daddia from Masterchef Australia in action and had the chance to pose with him for a photograph.
We indeed had some good food and great wine!

He talks so much, that by about 10am my hard drive was full, and my CPU about to overheat.  This guy is a legend, and to sum up the one day of filming with Eben, one would need at least ten days of writing. You might have to wait a while for this film, as all that talking makes filming a dream, but editing a nightmare.  A film not to be missed.
