A Taste of Field Blends

Fieldblend presents: A Taste of Field Blends

The second chapter of our A Taste of series is here, and this time we're raising a glass to the wine style we're named after.

A field blend is made from different grape varieties grown and vinified together in one vineyard. It's an old-school approach: a little wild, full of character and impossible to fake. It's also the idea behind everything we do at Fieldblend: independent winemakers, local farmers, small-scale fisheries and our community, all coming together in one glass and one plate.

You'll be welcomed with a glass of Blankbottle Oorbegin, a field blend with a story. Its old Chenin Blanc vines in the Voor-Paardeberg were abandoned and grew wild for 25 years before being rescued and brought back to life. Oorbegin means "start over," and it's a beautiful new beginning in a glass.

Join us in our Victorian-era courtyard, tucked into a little cobblestone alleyway in Simon's Town, for an afternoon or evening of curious wines and Arno's coastal cooking. His small plates are raw, cured and cooked, built around the day's catch and whatever our farmers are harvesting.
