Epicurean Wines

Epicureans are passionate in their pursuit of pleasure and beauty in all its forms and nowhere is this devotion more pronounced than in their love of food and wine

Our Philosophy

…………………………………….

We should look for someone to eat and drink with

before looking for something to eat and drink.

We believe a wine is grown in the vineyard, not made in the cellar. Following this philosophy, we pay particular attention to vineyard practices and selection. At the right time, the fruit is harvested and brought into the cellar. Here, the winemaker plays midwife to the expression of the vintage with minimal interference.

Our Wines

…………………………………….

Epicurean is a product of our love and passion for food, wine and the finer things in life.
But above all, it’s about friendship.

Our wines are crafted from grapes sourced from some of the best and well-tended vineyards, primarily in Stellenbosch for the red Bordeaux style blend and Elgin for the Chardonnay, Western Cape, South Africa. This enables us to create a great wine that is conspicuous by its perfect balance; it is aromatically harmonious, pure, powerful, and, above all, complex.

We produce a Bordeaux-style blend and the components vary each vintage, but each vintage always exudes the elegance that is expected of a great wine. Epicurean is produced in limited quantities.

Our Vintages

…………………………………….

Like an ensemble, there’s never an individual star, but several actors whose roles are of great importance, producing a single effect.

A wine’s vintage has a profound effect on its quality and taste because of the effect of weather conditions on the vines. Even more important is the micro-climate of the vineyard itself. By sourcing grapes from a variety of these micro-climates, we have an opportunity to use the best performing varietals in each vintage. Like an ensemble, there’s never an individual star, but several actors whose roles are of great importance, producing a single effect.

This is Epicurean.
