Having signed up to Hugh Mcleod’s generous offer of free wine, I have been waiting for my delivery to try it out. On Friday, I finally received the bottle (DHL’ed to my door) and decided to wait until Saturday to try it out.

Saturday came and I took some photos initially to show everyone the wine and then poured myself a glass. I had received a bottle of the Chardonnay variety and being a South African I had high hopes that this wine would be a winner.

The wine is an absolute winner. It has a wonderful crisp taste and went down very well. If only I had some more! :) It is a perfect wine for parties and would go incredibly well with any sort of sea-food.

The only “downside” I found is that it doesn’t have a cork. Many wine buyers steer clear of wines that are screw top. However, after tasting Stormhoek this weekend, its no longer a problem. Hopefully the stores will be stocked soon as I am really looking forward to trying some of the red varieties.

Thanks again to Hugh and Nick of Orbital wines for bringing in a great product.
