As, we were casually perusing through the abundant labels in a speciality wine store, we came across this. What a find! This might have been one of the best purchases I’ve made while in South Africa.  A wine called “Hat Trick.” The taste was just as brilliant as the label. At a heafty cost of around 300 Rand (approximately 30 USD) it was amazingly expensive compared the the wonderful wines you can get at a fraction of the price. 

So, for the Spirrsguy’s take on Welbedacht’s 2005 Hat Trick:  Full Bodied, a bit woody, lots of essence fig and berries, finishes nice, smooth and fresh on the back palate.  Excellent wine, and a good year. It’s called Hat Trick for goodness sake!

Be sure to bring one back as a WC2010 SA souvenir.  Cheers!
