Six Shades of Semillon - Blind Tasting at Bertha Wine Bar

A Rare Invitation to Taste South Africa’s Most Iconic Semillon Wines

Join us for a story-rich, blind tasting experience at Bertha Wine Bar in the heart of Stellenbosch, where six world-class Semillon wines are poured without labels, bias, or preconceptions.

As part of Wine Town Stellenbosch 2025, Six Shades of Semillon invites you to slow down, tune into your senses, and experience the subtle brilliance of a cultivar cherished by connoisseurs and crafted by masters.

This exclusive evening features Semillon expressions from four of South Africa’s most respected producers:

Boekenhoutskloof

Damascene

Thorne & Daughters

Benguela Cove

plus two more equally celebrated Semillons that deserve a seat at the table.

Can you tell texture from terroir, vintage from vision — all without seeing the label?

This isn’t a masterclass. It’s a rare privilege to taste, reflect, and connect with wines seldom poured for public enjoyment.

What’s Included:

1. Six blind tasting pours (±50ml each)
2. Tasting mat, scorecard & pencil
3. Artisan snack board (cheese, breadsticks, olives, nuts)
4. Reveal & discussion with guest winemakers
5. Final full pour of your favourite wine
6. Spot prize for the sharpest palate
