Surviving 2018 with Survivor Wines

I'm a Survivor! Absolutely no pun intended here guys :)  There is a serious water crisis in Cape Town, so I find myself drinking wine instead of water and what an appropriate wine to drink! Survivor Wines! haha! I am pretty impressed with the hype that this winery from the Swartland is stirring. I simply must give credit to the Marketing brain behind the entire brand - from the background story, label design and even the way they PR themselves - I mean, they even collaborated with fellow wine lovers to create a story on how we intend to survive 2018. Spot my surviving tip hint hint! Here's the unique story about Survivor Wines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu54o2q3NRU&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=Influencer&utm_medium=The+Wine+Girl+Cape+Town+Blog&utm_campaign=Surviving2018 Their Chenin Blanc 2017 is awarded with 2018 Platters 4.5 stars so it's gotta be rather good! I enjoyed it. Here's the crunch... 70% of the Chenin blanc underwent barrel fermentation in 100% first fill 500L untoasted Sylvain French Oak barrels. Yeah! That's pretty awesome! The wine sells for around R660 a case so that's really good value for money - considering the price of new barrels and also the cost of the really stunning labels.One thing's for sure - It's definitely a conversation starter at the table! If you are not a Chenin fan, there are other varietals in the mix such as a Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc - both awarded with Platters ratings. Feeling creative? Why not try one of the Survivor Wines recipes!
