THE COASTAL COLLECTION
A celebration of the Cape’s maritime terroir and botanical heritage.
MENU I: THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD
Focusing on the cool-climate, mineral-driven profiles of Noordhoek and Constantia.
I. Kelp-Cured Daikon Radish
Whipped cashew-seafoam, pickled sea lettuce, and cucumber granita.
Pairing: Cape Point Vineyards Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Noordhoek).
The Harmony: The maritime salinity of the Noordhoek vineyards mirrors the "oceanic" umami of the kelp and sea lettuce.
II. Wild Fynbos Risotto
Carnaroli rice infused with Buchu and Rooibos, topped with crispy salt-baked celeriac.
Pairing: Steenberg ‘The Black Swan’ Sauvignon Blanc (Constantia).
The Harmony: Steenberg’s signature flinty acidity cuts through the creamy risotto, while the herbal notes of the wine highlight the fynbos aromatics.
III. Poached Pear & Cape Floral Honey (Vegan)
Saffron-infused pear, coconut-milk labneh, and honeycomb-style sugar glass.
Pairing: Klein Constantia 'Vin de Constance' (World-renowned natural sweet wine).
The Harmony: A legendary pairing. The wine’s notes of apricot and spice harmonize with the saffron, providing a golden, luxurious finish.
MENU II: THE MOUNTAIN & THE SHORE
Focusing on the textured whites and elegant reds of the coastal slopes.
I. Wood-Fired Baby Leeks
Toasted macadamia cream, chive oil, and charred lemon zest.
Pairing: Constantia Glen 'Two' (Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon Blend).
The Harmony: The waxy texture of the Semillon in this coastal blend stands up to the richness of the macadamia cream.
II. Forest Mushroom & Truffle "Scallops"
King Oyster discs, pea shoot purée, and a reduction of aged balsamic.
Pairing: Creation 'Cool Climate' Pinot Noir (Hemel-en-Aarde / Coastal Reach).
The Harmony: Pinot Noir from the coastal regions is prized for its "forest floor" notes, which perfectly elevate the earthiness of the truffle and mushroom.
III. Dark Chocolate & Cape Sea Salt Ganache
Macerated local berries and a crisp cocoa tuile.
Pairing: Groot Constantia Lady of Abundance (Red Blend).
The Harmony: This structured red blend provides a bold backbone to the dark chocolate, with dark fruit notes that complement the fresh berries.
