Comments Winemaker, Jaco Marais: “It’s an absolute honour to once again be recognised on an international level for the wines we are passionate about creating here in the Franschhoek Valley. These wines are now available at The Tasting Room and The Restaurant at Grande Provence, all of which have been paired to complement the new menu created by Executive Chef, Darren Roberts.”
