Welcome to The South African Wine Society (SAWS)
The South African Wine Society, now in its 35th year, is a non-profit wine tasting club focused on promoting knowledge about and access to South African wines in Canada. This is achieved by hosting informative wine tastings, relaxed social; dinners and providing members with an opportunity to savour wines which are readily available, as well as vintage collections from our carefully stocked cellar.
Why not join the Society and embark on a journey discovering the wines and foods of remarkable South Africa and its leading wine producing regions? Learn about our Wine Cellar – a hidden member benefit.
Join us as we revisit a decade of Meerlust Rubicon (1996 – 2009) accompanied by a special menu at the U of T Faculty Club. These wines, from our original vertical tasting in September 2017, have been gracefully aging in our club cellar, and it is time that they shine and be enjoyed by our members. The Meerlust Rubicon was one of the highlights at our Agents Tasting event in March.
The vintages we have available include: 1996, 2001 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Each attendee will be poured 5 separate vintages of Rubicon. Due to limited inventory of some wines, not everyone will be able to enjoy every vintage. These will be accompanied by a glass of Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 and we will begin with a reception glass of Paul Cluver Estate Chardonnay 2020.
This is a once off opportunity to enjoy one of South Africa’s classic red blends, in its prime as only SAWS members and guests can. The wines for this event will be poured as follows.
