Wine by Design: Amorim presents ‘Only the Finest’ Not many people have the opportunity to experience wines that are in perfect condition after fifty, not to mention sixty, years in the bottle. Few local wine lovers ever get a chance to taste the famous original fortified wines from Portugal, labelled Port, Madeira, Muscatel Setubal – also wines that age beautifully for twenty and more years. This year we present two rare and once-in-a-lifetime wine tastings from exclusive cellars and origin that will surprise and thrill wine lovers. From Portugal: Port and Madeira Wed June 14 at 12.00 at The Marine Hotel BOOK NOW Joaquim Sa, managing director of the well-known cork company Amorim, will take guests though a journey of Portugal’s finest fortified wines. Among the wines Joaquim will show are decades-old Tawny Port, Bual, and various vintage muscatels. Tasters will be able to experience the difference in styles as well as the effects of maturation. Six Decades of South African Wine Thurs 15 June at 12:00 at The Marine Hotel BOOK NOW Christian Eedes, editor of Winemag.co.za, will offer a sensual snapshot of the famous Cape wines of the past sixty years from legendary cellars.
