Fynbos Wine Tasting at BartInney, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Today we ventured out into the Banhoek Valley of the Stellenbosch winelands in South Africa. This scorching hot region is known for its vibrant fruity flavours and hospitality.
The Bartinney farm is home to many interesting wine and gin tastings. We tried the FYNBOS wine tasting, which came with 3 pairings of the Cape's unique flora to the match with its full bodied wines.
We learnt that the Bartinney wine estate has won the 2020 International Wine & Spirit Competition's (IWSC) best Cabernet Sauvignon in the world.
The wine tasting with fynbos pairing cost ZAR/ R 75 or USD/ $ 5 per person. The olive oil/ balsamic vinegar with generous ciabatta platter cost ZAR/ R 75 or USD/ $ 2.5 (olives grown on the farm itself!).
Lastly, the wine achieves sustainability with the usage of the natural fynbos to control pests on the vineyard and attract healthy pollinators (like bees!). More on sustainability here: www.bartinney....
