MANUKA NEWSLETTER – OCTOBER 2013
Hi all,
Finally, it seems the worst of winter is over, so we’re preparing for a fantastic summer. So much exciting happening at Manuka in the next couple of months.
We have finally got around to getting interior designers in, so in the next few weeks we will have a NEW LOOK MANUKA ! (unfortunately, as there is still so much to be done, the garden will be done as a second stage in the new year)
We will also be making some changes to the menu to give it a summery feel, and introducing some new wines to the wine list.
WINES
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MANUKA WINE SHOP IS OPEN EVERY SUNDAY FROM 9AM – 3PM
Our next MEET THE WINEMAKER DINNER will be held on Wednesday 30th October.
Our featured wine estate will be ANURA VINEYARDS. The Anura Pinotage Reserve has just been awarded a place in the ABSA TOP 10 PINOTAGE awards and will be offered at an extra discounted rate on the evening. Please remember to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. I’ll get the menu out in the next few days.
We are going to be hosting our very first MINI WINE FESTIVAL at Manuka on Saturday 2nd November. We will be featuring over 40 wines from 10 estates: RAKA, Strandveld, Dalla Cia, Kaapzicht, HPF, Quoin rock, Vergenoegd, The Foundry, Saxenberg and Zandvliet. We will have live music and load of lucky draws. Bring the family for a fun day out. The entry fee will be R30 for a tasting glass which will include tastings of all the wines and will include entry into all the lucky draws. Bottles of featured wines will be discounted on the day to take home and to drink in the restaurant. Tastings will start at 11am but as usual, we will be open from 8am. Tables will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis, but we will also put picnic blankets on the lawn for extra chilling space!
We have even more exciting new wines in stock this month at Manuka Fine wines:
After much nagging from customers, I am very pleased to announce that we are finally stocking BILTON WINES. At the moment we only have Matt Black (R83) in stock, but the range will increase over the next couple of months.
We are also increasing our range of the hugely popular Doolhof Estate. We now stock Doolhof Malbec (R89) & Doolhof Cape Boar Bordeaux Blend (R55) with the Doolhof Sauvignon Blanc next on our list.
Wildekrans Pinotage (R99), another ABSA TOP 10 PINOTAGE winner, is also new on the shelves
