Museum Saturday Biltong & Droëwors Adventure with Stellenbosch Hills

These days wine is matched with everything from cheese to chocolate, but a first in South Africa is the Stellenbosch Hills ‘Biltong & Droëwors Adventure’. They started this pairing in 2005 and it is still ever so popular.

“Winemaking in South Africa dates back to 1659, and the making of dried meat products just as far back,” explains cellar master, P.G. Slabbert. It seemed a logical ‘local is lekker’ match to bring these two products together for a unique tasting experience that celebrates our Cape heritage.”  This unique pairing of six Stellenbosch Hills premium wines with specially selected cured and dried meats is a must!

The pairing takes between 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

There are 4 time allocations.

A R30 booking fee secures your seat. Please note this is an exclusive one day only booking fee exclusive to the Rupert Museum.

TASTING NOTES

Springbok Biltong & Stellenbosch Hills 1707 Reserve White

With dry, lean meat and boasting a pleasant gaminess this Springbok biltong is perfectly balanced by the sumptuous citrus fruit, and buttered toast flavours found in the Stellenbosch Hills 1707 Reserve White.

Moist Beef Biltong & Stellenbosch Hills Polkadraai Pinotage / Merlot

A shorter drying out period results in a pleasantly succulent, flavourful and juicier meat with a complex taste, perfectly complemented by the sweeter notes of this Pinotage/Merlot blend.

Ostrich Droëwors & Stellenbosch Hills Merlot

This milder game meat is complemented by the plummy, ripe fruit flavours of the well-rounded Stellenbosch Hills Merlot
