People love to grill and cook over an open flame. The very nature of grilling and barbequing is built into the human DNA. It’s of part of out genetic makeup, with the earliest recorded evidence of barbequing being discovered by archaeologists in South Africa. It appears that this is no coincidence as South Africans take barbeque, or “braai”, quite seriously. So much so that in September each year when they celebrate their Heritage Day, they call it “Braai Day”.

And what would be a great Braai without a red wine? There are numerous options but wine is a great match and we have one that was made specifically for the exercise, the 2019 Braai Cabernet Sauvignon, whose production is overseen by Bruwer Raats of the highly respected Raats Family Wines. The name pretty much sums it up and pulls no punches and what gives it its appeal is not only its impressive value, but the quality in the bottle. A wine with a specific purpose that’s made for the one thing that most people love to do, hang out with loved ones and cook something on the grill. Happy grilling and chilling.
