Deconstructing Chakalaka wine

At an intimate tasting at the South African owned High Timber Restaurant in London, the components of Spice Route Winery’s iconic red blend Chakalaka were presented to provide a “deconstructed” perspective of the Swartland. We tasted samples of the five wines used in the Chakalaka 2012 blend (Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Grenache, Petit Shirah) as well as the 2011 vintage, followed by a glass of Spice Route’s estate-brewed beer.

The work on display is on the whole highly skilled and incredibly varied from Warren Petersen’s finely painted anime-esque girls to Trust.iCON’s Banksy-inspired stencils.
