Says organiser Corlien Morris from Wine Menu: “Consumers are choosing more ‘unusual’ grape varietals than ever before to broaden their wine experience. They are looking for something different in the marketplace. We have some fabulous product at this year’s festival.”
Wines are on sale on the night at less than their regular retail prices, while a number are no longer available in the general marketplace.
