Situated in Stellenbosch’s iconic Church Street, Le Grand Domaine Enoteca is the new chic and vibey brand home of Le Grand Vin Stellenbosch wines. I went to go check it out!
A joint venture between Le Grand Domaine and Stellenview Premium Wines, the latest ‘place to be seen’, is an opulent showcase for both brands’ handcrafted, premium quality wines full of character and flavour. The ranges on offer include The Pledge, as well as the internationally awarded Stellenview Premium Wines and its subsidiary labels; Kruger Family Wines, Kenzo Faure Kruger Wines, Stellenview Reserve, Great Five Reserve and Cape Five.
The elegant and welcoming ambience is adorned with beautifully crafted joinery, accentuated copper finishes, leather and solid wooden chairs and tables creating comfortable seating spaces inside and, for an al fresco experience, on the sidewalk under the shade of parasols and oak trees.
The brand home’s “wine library” serves as a hands-on source of information for the impressive line-up of wines. Having more than thirty wines available side-by-side for tasting and comparison the Enoteca offers our visitors a holistic wine experience and insight into the variety of labels that are produced by the two producers. All wines are offered by tasting portion, glass, and bottle.
The bistro styled menu offers classic dishes with a twist. Expect to find Mussels in Garlic Miso Broth, Pan Seared Duck Breast with Balsamic Blackberry Sauce and Truffle Parmesan Fries with Aioli – a menu which prides itself in locally sourced seasonal produce and thus changed seasonally.
As an Enoteca - only small quantities of each wine are kept in supply, and guests who wish to purchase large quantities can do so via their online store (www.stellenview.co.za). However, if you wish to take home a bottle or two, you are more than welcome to purchase it from the Enoteca.
