A private tasting at Maaastricht Wines

We had the absolute pleasure of being treated by Maastricht Wines for a private tasting yesterday and oh, what a treat! We were welcomed by Thys and Melanie Louw, who alongside Thys’ parents, own this beautiful boutique winery. Their wines are simply outstanding, but as I am more of a red wine drinker, their Pinotage and Merlot was the best. In fact, it’s one of the better Pinotages I have tasted in a long time.

They usually host their tastings on the balcony, overlooking these gorgeous vineyards, but as it was raining, we sat inside, enjoying the warmth of their beautiful home, as well as their hospitality.

Their tasting room, which was an old barn and subsequent heritage site, overlooks their breathtaking estate and will be opening sometime in July or early August. They will serve their exquisite wines here, along with some cheese and charcuterie platters. The inside area is still incomplete, so I could not take any photos. We’re leaving the unveiling for their opening, so watch this space.
