Another award winning wine from one of our favourite Co-ops - Windmeul's The Legend 2010. A gold at the 2013 Michelangelo awards and 4.5 stars in the John Platter guide.
We were actually looking for some more of the delicious Cape Blend, but it was all sold out. So we settled for a couple of The Legend bottles. Named after Theuns Briers who was a former Windmeul Cellar Director and Springbok rugby player.
This wine is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux Blend. A full bodied, strong wine with delicious blackberry and Cab Sav earthy, cedar wood flavours. Went down like a treat, everybody thoroughly enjoyed it and agreed the awards are well deserved.
Together with some Saturday evening rugby and a family dinner - fantastic! See you at the next market, 7 December, to stock up on this and of course some of the other award winners like the 2013 Chenin Blanc (Veritas Double Gold 2013).
A delicious red velvet cake to wash it all down at the end. The November issue of the Taste Magazine, celebrating 10 years of the publication, had the most beautiful cakes adorning the pages. I've been trying out a few of them and this time (celebrating my sister's birthday as well - in her absence) was their Red Velvet Cake. Not as pretty as the magazine, but just as delicious!
