- Personal Journals
Ian and Jane Smorthwaite have created, what the American Express Dining Awards call, "the country's best kept secret" through a combination of exceptional wine and food in the rolling hills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
What surprises most wine enthusiasts is that the wines are all of origin, Lions River, and hold their own among their peers in the Western Cape. There is, however, a unique expression in each bottle that communicates this climate, altitude, distinctive soil and the extraordinary amount of hard work it takes to make wine in this area. You might also get a sense, as you nose and taste the wine, of a family that just loves what they do.
