When other countries make blended wine using varietals originating from Bordeaux these wines are known as Bordeaux-style blends.
A white Bordeaux-style blend will be a blend with sauvignon blanc and semillon, but one more commonly refers to the red style when speaking about a Bordeaux-style blend. There are five main red varietals grown in Bordeaux and a Bordeaux-style blend needs to contain two or more of these varietals. They are namely cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot.
We will be talking about the South African wines and the wineries. We will also compare the effect of age on the wines.
To complete the evening a tasting plate will be served.
