Meet the Winemaker: Christiaan Coetzee of Uva Mira - Kew Wednesday 7th Oct 2026
Meet the Winemaker: Christiaan Coetzee
Join us for a truly intimate evening as we welcome Christiaan Coetzee, the acclaimed winemaker behind South Africa's celebrated Uva Mira Mountain Vineyards, for an exclusive tasting at our Kew shop.
Nestled high on the cool slopes of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, Uva Mira is one of South Africa's most exciting estates. Renowned for its high-altitude vineyards, meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to expressing terroir, every wine reflects elegance, purity and longevity. Each berry is hand-selected, every parcel is vinified separately, and every decision is guided by flavour rather than formula, allowing the vineyard to tell its own story.
This is far more than a tasting it's your chance to go behind the label.
Spend the evening with Christiaan as he shares the philosophy, passion and artistry that go into every bottle. Discover how site, climate and craftsmanship shape each wine, hear the stories from the vineyard and cellar, and enjoy the rare opportunity to ask questions directly to the person who made the wines in your glass.
Over the course of the evening, you'll taste four specially selected wines:
-
The Mira, Sauvignon Blanc
-
The Mira, Chardonnay
-
The Mira Cabernet Franc
-
The Mira Cabernet Sauvignon
Each wine will be accompanied by a carefully selected cheese pairing.
To ensure a relaxed and personal experience, tickets are strictly limited to just 10 guests and 2 tickets per booking. Whether you're a long-time admirer of Uva Mira or simply curious to discover one of South Africa's most exciting wineries, this promises to be a memorable evening of exceptional wines, fascinating conversation and genuine insight into the craft of fine winemaking.
