Wine From South Africa & USA

Join the Lion and Pheasant Hotel for an evening of spectacular New World wine showstoppers! South Africa has a long and distinguished history of wine production going back over 400 years – it is an old ‘New World’ wine country.

Since the abolition of apartheid, the quality of its wine-making has risen to showcase the talent which its history deserves. Chunky, chocolatey reds and elegant European-style whites are now the order of the day, served up by a precocious band of young, cutting edge winemakers.

If you think about the USA, our supermarket shelves have long been dominated by the commercially successful brands such as Ernest & Julio Gallo, however that’s only half the story with California in particular producing world class wines more than capable of holding their own on the world stage.
