For anyone who has enjoyed Baronne over the years, Baronne Rediscovered at Nederburg offers a chance to get a little closer to what goes into the bottle.
The guided tasting takes one of South Africa’s familiar red blends apart and explores its two key components individually: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
Each wine is served in its own Riedel glass, allowing guests to focus on the character of each varietal before seeing how they come together.
- The tasting then reaches its grand reunion as the wines are brought back together, with the Baronne blend decanted at the table at Nederburg. It is a clever way of turning a familiar bottle into a more interactive wine experience, giving guests a chance to consider the individual components before tasting them as one.
What happens during the Baronne Rediscovered tasting?
The experience begins with the two wines behind the blend being presented separately. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are each poured into their own Riedel glass, giving guests the opportunity to explore the wines individually. The tasting then brings the two components back together as Baronne, with the blend decanted at the table. The format makes the tasting particularly interesting for anyone who already knows the wine, as it focuses attention on how the individual varieties contribute to the finished blend.
For anyone familiar with Baronne, the experience offers a different way to approach the blend, starting with Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz in their own glasses before bringing everything back together at the table. It is a fitting rediscovery of a wine many South Africans already know.
