WHAT TO FUDGE AND WINE
FUDGE AND BUBBLY – A MATCH
SOFT, buttery fudge… just the thought makes the mouth water. Now, add the bubbly zing of Polkadraai sparkling wine and you’ll discover a match made in tongue-twinging heaven. That’s just one of the exciting new pairing extravaganzas to launch for summer at Stellenbosch Hills this November.
For R40 a person, a duo of Stellenbosch Hills’ Polkadraai bubblies can be tasted, each with a custom-made fudge created by the boutique Basilei Handcrafted Confectionary.
Paired with traditional butter fudge, the Polkadraai Pinot Noir Sparkling Rosé 2018 is a wine that brims with flavours of red berry and strawberry, and a hint of candy floss.
The Polkadraai Sauvignon Blanc Brut 2018’s crisp palate and flavours of tropical fruit are just the ticket when sampled alongside Basilei’s delectable chocolate malt fudge.
The Fizz & Fudge Summer Pairing is on offer at the Stellenbosch Hills Tasting Room from November to February – and only when pre-booked. Reservations can be made by calling 021 881 3828/9 or email to info@stellenbosch-hills.co.za
The tasting room is at the corner of the R310 and Vlottenburg Road, Stellenbosch. The tasting room is open Mondays to Fridays 9am till 5pm and Saturdays 10am till 3pm.
