A wine journal, and guides to the Cape wine farms
Cellar Notes is a wine journal for South African wine lovers. Log every wine you taste, tap the flavours you find in the glass, rate it out of five, and search your journal later to remember exactly what you thought. It works offline, in the valleys where the signal drops away.
Alongside the journal we write visitor guides to Western Cape wine farms, covering tasting fees, opening hours and directions. Browse the full directory of 430 wine estates across 24 Cape wine regions, or read Wine Words, a plain-English glossary of 54 terms you will hear in any tasting room.
