Gerhard Smith’s day job is as part of the the winemaking team for Creation Wines in the Hemel en Aarde. He makes the Kat se Snor (the Cat’s Whiskers) wines as his own side project – a few small parcel, hand (and foot) crafted wines of individual character and texture.
Asked about his winemaking philosophy Gerhard’s reply is short and to the point: “Farm right, then don’t stuff it up in the winery. My aim is to make elegant, terroir-driven wines that are fun to drink, and I’m delighted to be working with the wonderful sites we have at our disposal on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge.” When not making wine, he enjoys to braai, eat good food and drink good wine with friends and family.
We’ll have a jolly time tasting, learning and enjoying these fantastic wines with TV snacks from 4 -7 pm. Please do reserve a ticket to help us plan best for catering purposes, but no need to be strict on your time. We are ready for you from 4pm and you can stay as long as you like up until 7pm.
We will be tasting:

Kat se Snor Pinot Noir 2019
