First tasting.

Clear blue sky. Temp. Reached 32C.
Morning coffee and a walk round Stellenbosch
What a beautiful town that is.
Then a drive up into the hills.
Roses, Bougainvilles, strelitzias , were just some of the flowers lining the sides of the drive way, up to the wine estate of Delaire Graff, where we had lunch.
And what a stunning lunch.
The terrace overlooking the mountains and vineyard.
See top photo.
Bottom left was my dessert , and the bottom right the strelitzias .
The view one of the beautiful ever.
After lunch we had a wine tasting.
Favourite were the rose, and Chenin blanc.
Came back with a few bottles!
So very grateful to my brother- in--law for doing the driving.
