Constantly wandering between the Klein Karoo & Swartland, all the while aiming to craft an honest decent drop of fine wine.

Something special and different for our weekend braai! This Grenache Noir rosé from our wine friend Graham (@jongo2.0) and @the_fledge spent 9 months in barrel, bringing texture, subtle spice and a richness you don’t often find in South African rosé. Plenty of red berry fruit, a deeper colour than expected, and very easy to keep going back to.Enjoyed it with Mom and Dad, and it complemented our meal perfectly 🍷 by @the_fledge

We’ve officially started our new wine-pairing series with Fledge & Co, and we’re excited to be sharing these wines around the Social Table over the next few weeks.What we love about Fledge & Co. is their focus on showcasing the diversity of the Cape through thoughtfully made wines sourced from vineyards across the Western Cape: from the Swartland and Stellenbosch to Elgin, Agulhas, Montagu, and beyond. Their wines are made with a hands-off approach that lets the vineyards and vintage speak for themselves, which feels very aligned with how we like to cook at Reverie.We’ve paired their wines with a new seasonal menu built around what’s coming through from our local farms right now, and we’d love for you to join us.Seats are open via @dineplan_app 🥂 by @the_fledge

Forget a stuffy wine list! Our by-the-glass selection gets a refresh every single week, hand-picked by yours truly (your local, friendly Somm). I take my job very seriously… which means I watch the forecast, chase the perfect chill on our whites, and read the vibes from our favourite regulars to make sure the pour is always spot on! Pouring this week while stocks last: @kloovenburg.estate @ionawines @rebelrebelwines @waterford_estate @the_fledge @grootepost @drukmynietwines @radford_dale @dtkwines @frankiefennermeatmerchants @perellofoods @morgenster_sa @eonayterblanche @vdp_distributors_western_cape @ @vino_roi @ruedawine @exanimowineco @nuschkadevos @ineedmorvino @sirisvintners @atbt_2007 @matthew_renge @everythings_vine_and_dandy by @the_fledge

It's been a while. Friday eve (25° at last!) vibes coming from the good and gnarly old Steen ( Chenin) vines of the Swartland. Courtesy of the artistic craft of Leon and Margaux at @the_fledge .Full of quince perfume, honey, honeysuckle, caramelised pecans. Mouthwatering sorrel-like acidity is mellowing now, but leave this buck on your palate for long enough, and there's plenty of life in it! 🐐 #thefledge#swartland #cheninblanc #steen #klipspringer #wosa by @the_fledge
