Under Oaks - Reserve Wine and Taste Pairing Experience

This little hidden gem is situated in Northern Paarl, close to Rhebokskloof, and is definitely worth visiting.  I found myself at Under Oaks two weekends in a row.  This time we came to experience their Food & Wine Pairing for my food and wine blog in Cape Town.

It was a beautiful sunny day in the middle of winter in Cape Town, therefore we sat outside on the grass under the trees at this tranquil wine estate.

I was very excited to review Under Oaks for my food and wine blog in Cape Town.

On the menu for the pairing was:

Biltong Soup:

Paired with Under Oaks Pinotage Reserve 2016

Venison Pie:

Paired with Under Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2016

Cream Cheese & Biltong:

Paired with Under Oaks Just B 2015

Cape Bobotie:

Paired with Under Oaks Shiraz Reserve 2016

The wines at Under Oaks are so good, it is really hard to choose a favourite.  I found the Just B (reasonably priced at R150 a bottle) the smoothest, although their Pinotage is wonderful too.  "The Secret" was in another class.  It is a blend, and literally it is a secret that only the Winemakers 

I really enjoyed my return visit to Under Oaks as much as my last visit and I find the place so tranquil and relaxed and would highly recommend it to any visitors, either local or from abroad.  The staff are friendly and the wines are world class.

In conclusion:  is always a pleasure to review this wine farm for my food and wine blog in Cape Town, and I will certainly be back soon :)
