Maties Wine Club with Neethlingshof

You are warmly invited to our second Maties Wine Club online wine tasting for 2022. Please join fellow Maties in Europe, Ireland and the United Kingdom on Friday, 20 May where you will have the opportunity to share memories of Stellenbosch and listen to icons of the wine industry whilst sipping some of our favourite South African wines.

For our second wine experience of the year, we have teamed up with the more than 300-year-old Stellenbosch wine estate, Neethlingshof. This famed estate boasts an array of activities ranging from curated wine tastings, and delicious food options, as well as relaxing live music nights on Wednesdays. We are honoured to welcome winemaker De Wet Viljoen and assistant winemaker Mika Engelbrecht to share their knowledge and stories as we taste through a selection of their prized wines: Neethlingshof Unwooded Chardonnay 2021, Chenin Blanc 2021, Gewürztraminer 2020, Pinotage 2020, Malbec 2020 and concluding with the delectable Short Story Collection ‘The Caracal 2018’.

Europe
Capreo, our long-standing partner, will ensure that your wine package is delivered to your doorstep within three to five working days. For each wine package sold, Capreo has agreed to donate R50 towards the Stellenbosch University Bursary Fund.

We have two curated packages available — a standard package (CLICK HERE) and a premium package (CLICK HERE). The standard package includes the Neethlingshof Unwooded Chardonnay 2021, Gewürztraminer 2020 and Short Story Collection ‘The Caracal 2018’, whilst our premium package contains the full selection that will be tasted on the evening.

Terms and conditions
For Europe, the cost for the standard and premium wine packages includes shipping. The cost of the package depends on the country from where it is ordered.

United Kingdom & Ireland
We have teamed up with a Yorkshire based wine merchant (with Stellenbosch University links) www.lekkerwines.co.uk to supply the wines for the evening.

We suggest opening the wines 20 minutes before the tasting and also remember to ensure that you’re enjoying your wines at the correct temperature.
