Mar 18th, 10:08
Seize the moment and be one of the first to experience an exclusive pairing of Pongrácz and decadent, handmade chocolates, specially crafted for this distinctive Méthode Cap Classique range at The Market at Val de Vie near Paarl on Sunday, 24 March.
Visitors will be treated to an exquisite taste experience of three specially fashioned chocolates custom-made to bring out the unique flavour profile of Pongrácz, Pongrácz Rosé and the award winning signature Desiderius Pongrácz.
The taste experience starts off with the flirtatious and lively Pongrácz Rosé and a delicate Rose Geranium milk chocolate. The smooth cocoa and milk chocolate adds a hint of sweetness and lifts the fresh berry notes of the seductive Cap Classique. The romantic embrace of pure roses as the rose geranium flavour of the chocolate infuses into the Rosé leaves a delightfully refreshing and lusciously invigorating finish.
Next up, the crisp Pongrácz stalwart is paired with a velvety Roasted Almond and Lime white chocolate. The roasted almonds accentuate the biscuit and baked bread nuttiness whilst the lime lifts the fresh citrus and zest of the Pongrácz. Savour the full fruit and complexity of this delightful Cap Classique with all the flavours in perfect harmony.
An irresistible Hot Plum white chocolate is the alter ego of the luxurious prestige cuvée, Desiderius Pongrácz 2003. The chocolate, with its full fruit on the nose and warm, tingling cayenne pepper on the palate, embraces this charismatic signature Cap Classique. A melding of flavours with great complexity, this combination is a wonderful mouthful of smooth creaminess and an explosion of tastes erupting in stages. The finish is divinely elegant and keeps the palate yearning for more.
A Pongrácz and oyster tasting will also be on offer at this not-to-be missed event.
The Pongrácz and chocolate pairing will cost R50 per person. The Market at Val de Vie, a fresh goods and craft market, will showcase some of the finest local produce from the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley. It provides the ideal platform for vendors to promote their wares and grow their businesses, in a beautiful setting that is recognised as one of South Africa’s top destinations.
