PLAN
FOR A WINE-DIVINE ‘TOPS at SPAR GUGULETHU
WINE FESTIVAL’ WEEKEND
|
|
| |
WESTERN CAPE, GUGULETHU –
7 May 2013 – Start spreading
the news and plan for a wine-divine weekend
of wine tasting, music, food and wine-education
at the 3rd annual TOPS at SPAR GUGULETHU
WINE FESTIVAL taking place on Friday
24th May and Saturday 25th May 2013
on the rooftop of the Gugulethu
Square Mall.
Festival co-founders and local entrepreneurs,
Mzoli Ngcawuzele from Mzoli's place and
Lungile Mbalo are promising visitors a
divine wine festival whilst also celebrating
Africa Day, which falls on Saturday 25th
May 2013.
Says Mzoli Ngcawuzele, Co-founder
of the festival and owner of Mzoli’s
Place in Gugulethu, “We
look forward to this festival and invite
all our Cape Town suburbs to come and
learn something about our heritage wines
and each other. This festival is beautiful,
safe and an amazing experience. It is
truly a mixture of colours and cultures
all with something in common pulling us
together. It is our love of wine and it’s
amazing ability to make us see what is
important in life.”
TOPS at SPAR, the festival headline
sponsor and Friday VIP Lounge sponsor,
have a great belief in this festival and
audiences. Says Mark Robinson,
TOPS Group Liquor Manager, "TOPS
at SPAR is proud to headline the TOPS
at SPAR GUGULETHU WINE FESTIVAL. Our motivation
in business is broad enough to include
the aspirations and needs of others; therefore
a home-grown festival like this that encourages
sustainable entrepreneurship is close
to home at TOPS at SPAR. We are really
looking forward to meeting our customers
and friends at the festival too.”
Lucindi Branfield, SA Brand Manager for
J.C. Le Roux says “The
glamorous J.C. Le Roux lounge is the ultimate
spot for fashionistas to live Le Good
Life at the TOPS at SPAR GUGULETHU WINE
FESTIVAL. Visitors can choose from a stunning
selection of Cap Classique and sparkling
wines, from everybody’s favourite,
Le Domaine, to the prestige cuvée,
Scintilla. There will be prizes to be
won and nougat tastings on offer, as well
as the opportunity to have your picture
taken at the J.C. Le Roux stand. Cellar
Master Elunda Basson will be available
to chat to J.C. Le Roux fans who would
like to know more about how wines at South
Africa’s leading home of sparkling
wine are made”
MasterChef South Africa Judge,
Pete Goffe-Wood will be appearing
alongside Nederburg winemaker Wilhelm
Pienaar at this year’s TOPS at SPAR
GUGULETHU WINE FESTIVAL. They will present
the winery’s now famous Nederburg
Taste Theatre, a fascinating journey of
flavours.
The dextrous duo that created such a spark
last year in explaining to festival goers
why some wine and food pairings seem heaven-matched
will bring their fun, entertaining and
common- sense reasoning to this year’s
festival with a line-up of wines and elemental
food flavours to demonstrate exactly what
they mean.
Their joint appearance comes just a few
weeks before the June 11 start to the
second season of MasterChef South Africa
that once again stars Goffe-Wood in a
judging role, together with his colleagues
Benny Masekwameng and Andrew Atkinson.
Guests, accommodated on a first-come,
first-served basis in the Taste Theatre
within the festival venue, will be encouraged
to interact with the presenters, ask questions,
express their opinions and share their
own experiences of wine and food pairing
favourites and fiascos.
The presentations will be staged at 17:30,
18:30 and 19:30 on the Friday, and at
16:30, 18:00 and 19:30 on the Saturday.
The TOPS at SPAR GUGULETHU WINE FESTIVAL
objective is to create wine awareness
and wine education amongst the broader
consumer markets in the Western Cape whilst
also expanding the wine consumer base
for wineries, and for these wineries to
meet and greet their present and future
consumers.
