Experience
T h e S t o r y B e h i n d M a r i s e P o l l a r d ' s S e l e c t i o n
A sip of wine for me
is like a time machine.
It takes me back to a memory,
escaping the current reality.
Close your eyes,
and you’ll be surprised,
as she takes away your breath
like a bride’s first steps.
Elegant, smooth and wild
as the dreams of a child.
Her bottle on the table
full of unexpected amazement.
Dancing in your glass,
showcasing her class.
Waking all your senses,
see life through her lenses.
Make sure to note
before the next adventures provoke.
Because a sip of wine
captures a moment in time.
Viognier
Fairview
I find myself seated in the tasting room of Fairview, my friends brimming with eagerness to learn about wine. This master tasting is my absolute favourite…
Cabernet Franc
Swartskaap HPF
Seated on the patio of our family beach house with a crisp glass of HPF, basking in the warmth of the all too familiar December sun and the ocean aroma leaving a salty aftertaste with every breath taken…
Grenache Rosé
Pink Poney Cavalli
Taking my first step towards the downstairs tasting room at Cavalli, my curiosity leading me astray, taking a wrong, or rather a right turn, into the art gallery.
Here my imagination runs free…
Pinotage Brut
Pinotage Brut L'Avenir
On a perfect day on a picturesque wine farm in the South of France, I stare at a chateau wrapped in history while indulging in one of the best the world’s ‘Valley of Wines’ has to offer…
Shiraz
Amandelboord Shiraz De Grendel
Taking a sip of this wine takes me back to the oak dining table in my living room. There is just something about a table that intrigues me. I grew up in a house where my mother always had the table set for dinner as if she was hosting an enormous party…
Pinotage
Beyerskloof
Seated on the back of a safari vehicle in a game reserve, views of elephants swimming, sounds of hippos grunting and the fresh smell of antelope grazed grass. I order a glass of red as the ultimate sundowner drink and what a pleasant surprise…
My Wine.
My Story.
It all starts with a Story. My story, your story and ultimately our story. Through stories, we share our passions, fears, sadnesses and joys and we find common ground through which we can connect and inspire.
Every wine has its own unique story. Tradition and history lend itself to wonderful stories and pictures in our minds. Sharing a glass of wine with friends, remembering special
moments and celebrations all forms part of our wine story.
Lockdown has prevented us from physically visiting wine farms and being part of their stories. Whilst we have still had great experiences, sharing a bottle of wine with friends and relatives, the isolation has brought some
separation. We need to re-connect and re-engage with each other to find that bit of magic, where we can share and have wonderful experiences.
Aramex South Africa wants to assist in reconnecting our nation. We have asked some of our better-known friends to share their wine stories and journey with us. We will bring you these unique stories monthly together with some exceptional wines, that will all tell a story.
As South Africans we can reconnect through stories, share experiences and inspire each other.
You too will be able to reminisce and become part of the wonderful story of wine. With these perfectly selected wines you can enjoy a glass at home and feel like you are sitting next to the person sharing his/her story. As an exclusive logistics partner to The Wine Farmer, we are proud to bring you: My Wine, My Story delivered to your door! #ConnectingANation
