Wine master Elsie Pells belongs to the 66 people that were able to achieve the title of a Cape Wine Master. It is her who overlooks the creation of the PHANT wine and she also likes to share news from the region that the wine comes from.
Taste of Wine
Eating and drinking is what we do every day but few people think about the flavours or how we taste them.
Wine faults
Wine is complex and ever changing - consider the complexity of the underlying web of differing chemical and bio-chemical influences at work in a wine - and sometimes things go wrong. Wine faults vary in intensity and some can be barely detectible merely reducing potential pleasure, while others may make the wine totally undrinkable. Sensitivity to various faults can differ vastly from taster to taster.
