    Darling Cellars Reserve Pyjama Bush Sauvignon Blanc Grenache 2025 – A Fresh Coastal Rosé Blend

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 19, 2026 4:41


    The wine in the image is Darling Cellars Reserve Pyjama Bush Sauvignon Blanc Grenache 2025, a South African blend from the Darling wine region on the West Coast. This rosé-style wine combines the crisp, zesty freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the vibrant fruit character of Grenache, resulting in a refreshing, fruit-forward profile. It typically offers notes of ripe strawberries, red berries, and subtle citrus, balanced by a clean acidity and a smooth, dry finish. The “Pyjama Bush” name pays tribute to a hardy indigenous plant found in the Darling area, reflecting the winery's strong connection to its local terroir and coastal climate, which contributes to the wine's bright, expressive flavours.

    “The Ripple” Launches on 88FM to Spotlight Local Acts of Good A new weekly radio segment, The Ripple, will officially launch on 88FM this Monday at 7:30am during the Morning Show with Mike and Penny. Created to shine a light on the good happening around us, The Ripple offers listeners a hopeful and constructive start to the week. Across our communities, individuals and organisations, big and small, are quietly doing their part to uplift others. From neighbours helping neighbours to volunteers, businesses and community groups driving positive change, meaningful acts of good often happen without recognition. Good does not always chase a headline. The Ripple was created to give it a space. The segment is built on a simple belief: when good is shared, it can be felt. And when it is felt, it can inspire others. Sometimes inspiration begins with something small - one story, one act, one ripple at a time. Listeners are encouraged to participate by submitting stories of individuals or organisations making a difference. If you know someone doing their bit to uplift our community, The Ripple would like to hear from you. Submissions can be made via: Newsroom.88fm@proton.me The Ripple airs live every Monday at 7:30am on 88FM with Mike and Penny and will also be released as a podcast, with highlights shared across social media platforms.

    This wine is Simonsig Jamala Gewürztraminer, produced by Simonsig Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Jamala is a naturally aromatic white wine made from the Gewürztraminer grape, known for its expressive floral and spice-driven character. The wine typically shows rose petal, lychee, Turkish delight, and exotic spice notes, with a gently off-dry style that balances freshness and perfume. Light to medium-bodied with a soft, rounded mouthfeel, it's designed to be approachable and vibrant rather than heavily structured. Simonsig Jamala is especially well-suited to spicy Asian cuisine, fragrant curries, or enjoyed on its own, and reflects Simonsig's reputation for crafting elegant, food-friendly wines with a strong sense of place.

    Olifantsberg's varietal range represents just the beginning of what the estate offers, with wines that are best described as honest expressions of the land and its character. Each vineyard batch is vinified separately and carefully blended to highlight the full varietal character and subtle nuances of the grape. This single-vineyard bush vine, planted in 1982 in the Breedekloof Valley, benefits from old vines that deliver depth, intensity, and complexity. The wine is matured for nine months in oak, resulting in an elegant mouthfeel, balanced acidity, and layered fruit character. Variations in vine growth and foliage across the vineyard are carefully managed, with selective harvesting to ensure optimal quality and consistency, showcasing the enduring value and personality of these historic vines.
