Laborie’s Triumph
In a dazzling reaffirmation of excellence, KWV’s Laborie Blanc de Blancs 2019 has seized the Cap Classique crown at the prestigious South African Trophy Wine Show. This back-to-back victory, following last year’s win by the 2017 vintage, is more than a personal triumph for winemaker Kobus van der Merwe. It’s a confirmation of the rising global stature of South African sparkling wine and Cap Classique being the fastest-growing wine segment in the country.
Oasis in a Cup
In an era where every moment of serenity feels earned, LMC’s Lemon, Chamomile and Lavender rooibos tea emerges as the perfect pause button. This naturally caffeine and kilojoule-free blend marries the floral calm of chamomile and lavender with a zesty whisper of lemon, delivering a soothing sip whether you take it steaming on a crisp morning or chilled on a balmy afternoon. Thoughtful touches, such as compostable pyramid teabags, turn each brew into an eco-friendly ritual.
A Bite of Celebration
From a humble kitchen escape during Covid to a nationwide gourmet sensation, Mondvol Cookies (created by MasterChef SA runner-up Andriette de la Harpe) has become South Africa’s go-to chunky cookie. Driving this success is founder Andriette’s commitment to joy, quality ingredients and inventive flavours such as Cape Spice, Melktert and Nutella. What started as a lifeline in dark waters has blossomed into a thriving female-owned enterprise, complete with a Cookie Club that delivers to your doorstep.
