Conde conundrum? (1 Viewer)

[Dazzlin]

Spotted this revered plonk (@canopus) in an unusual location.

Conde rose! (May not be same product 'as seen in Lidl'.

Approx price £5 in full view in 1st pic. Bottom l/h corner in 2nd pic.

What sort of salubrious/dodgy/questionable location were these pics taken? On what continent?

Cheers!

From the writing on the wall, somewhere English speaking, but not UK otherwise it wouldn't be much of a conundrum. Perhaps some place warm and where you could source a bottle of Boekenhoutskloof locally ?

Spot on. At 36° it is certainly warm. We picked the best year to avoid spanish snow!

After visiting nearly 20 wineries for tastings and stocking up on a good selection of (higher quality than our usual!) local wines for the rest of our trip, we were browsing the cellar of a local wine merchant in Franschhoek, one of the Capetown wine regions of South Africa and the same town that produces Boekenhoutskloof.

Not convinced it is the same grape variety as the infamous Lidl Conde Noble, but couldn't resist the opportunity to big-up the much mocked bricks!

Too hot, we're not used to it. Used to 16-20° of english summer/moroccan winter.

But we will put up with it. Will have to drink more white wine.

Heading down towards the coast after a couple of weeks in Stellenbosch. Where are you based?

Summerstrand, Port Elizabeth - about 500km east of you. Our usual winter spot.

Sounds excellent, thanks for the update.

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but how many bottles make up first prize for solving the conundrum

Over near you in about a month. Will get in touch if we have time!

Looked at loads round Addo and finally picked a farm between Addo and Scotia game parks. Booked 3 nights to do both parks and lodgings hold a campfire every night. Will try and start beer o'clock!!!!

Will let you know how it goes.

May have to upgrade in maroc from conde (sigh), after buying enough in one week (20 wine tastings in Franschhoek) to keep us going 'til we get back to Capetown. Now have another 2 weeks in Stellenbosch being led astray by my Dad and WSM (wicked step mother). Waistbands are starting to suffer!!!!

A lot of fine dining to be had for very reasonable (even for us) prices.

As many bricks of Conde as you can stomach in 1 hour or 1 bottle of other SA origin if we have any aboard (low chance).

Was it knowledge that won you the game or a good zoom on the pic?

I had no idea a week ago. Now I have a mass of knowledge I cannot remember!!
