Winemaker Tasting: Jurgen Gouws of Intellego Wines

To be honest, I'm over the moon to have Jurgen visit us and lead us through a tasting of his unique, next level wines from the Swartland region of South Africa.  Yes!  Another opportunity to taste with our friends from the other side of the world, and experience a lovely evening of sharing what we love most about wine and winemaking.

Jurgen is a gentle force in the South Africa winemaking community, he's a visionary with remarkable wines that are thoughtful, careful, spunky, unique and a joy to explore.

Catch a glimpse of Jurgen's philosophy and the land where he creates magic https://www.intellegowines.com/philosophy/

We are looking to taste 6 (maybe 7, we will see) of Intellego's latest releases.  In addition, you'll be treated to a small snack of cheese, prosciutto & Marcona almonds.

Please reserve your seat in advance as these events tend to sell out.

About Intellego Wines...

"Our philosophy remains minimal intervention during the winemaking process and the wines are a celebration of the hard work done in the vineyard. For us it is intuitive winegrowing, an evolution through experimentation on small pockets of land selected in the Swartland Appellation.


Intellego’s true passion is the real work that happens in the vineyard with a hands-on approach, understanding seasonal influences and adjusting based on constant observation of the terroir.


A big aim is to create optimum soil conditions through organic practises where the vines will be nurtured for an indefinite period of time, creating conditions for each block to have their own individual character. We grow grapes in an environment that is beneficial to the plant and its roots in this Mediterranean like climate.


Mother nature has given us the opportunity to discover its true potential and by establishing vineyards on favourable sites we can express ourselves and at the same time contribute to a healthier environment."
