Cape Cru - a tasting of unique wines
Master Classes Cape Cru 2026
Zuiderkerk - Amsterdam
According to Perswijn, Cape Cru 2022 was the event of the year and the organization was named importers of the year 2022: a tasting that was unprecedented nationally and internationally. The four are all importers of great South African wines (and often much more!). And the two-day event was Cape Cru, a tasting of wines from South Africa with the presence of all producers, including pretty much the entire top of today. An example of vision, cooperation and decisiveness. The best producers of The Cape will also show their wines in the Zuiderkerk in 2026 and we will try to surpass the 2022 edition. Just like during Cape Cru 2024 there will be master classes given by various winemakers and importers. These are tastings in a separate room with a limited number of places and with special wines.
The Tasting
No less than 48 winemakers from South Africa will have their wines tasted during this tasting. The new vintages, new wines and sometimes also older vintages. At the tasting there will again be the opportunity to enjoy charcuterie, sandwiches, etc. from All Class Catering.

Master Class Lars Daniels Remarkable Red June 1
With their predominantly Mediterranean climate, the wine regions of the Western Cape are well-suited to a wide variety of red grape varieties. You undoubtedly know that Syrah from diverse origins can be excellent. But the quality of Cabernet Franc has also been remarkably high in recent years, and wines from lesser-known varieties such as Cinsault and Grenache Noir enrich the spectrum of red wine in South Africa. Lars Daniëls from Perswijn shares his insights and offers tastings. Starts at 14:00.
