The beautiful @brookdale_estate in Paarl continues The beautiful @brookdale_estate in Paarl continues to redefine South African winemaking with the release of four exciting new vintages – most notably, the highly anticipated Brookdale Twenty Field Blend 2024. This vibrant red wine is a true celebration of the almost-lost art of field blend winemaking, crafted from 20 red varietals inter-planted as bush vines on the estate. Ultimately, it’s a bold move that reflects Brookdale’s ongoing commitment to innovation, curiosity and craftsmanship. Read all about it on the SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY blog.
