Aaldering launched in Mpumalanga with a road trip from White River, via Hazyview and Hoedspruit, kindly arranged by our energetic distributor, Kim Liston from Wine on Wheels.

Together with some prestigious South African wine brands the Mpumalanga clientele were treated to tastings and food and wine pairings at various venues showing off what Stellenbosch terroir has to offer.

The highlight was however meeting Tembo, the friendly and huge elephant at Elephant Whispers in Hazyview. One of the most interesting facts was to learn that 50% of elephants are left-handed and 50% right-handed. The way to distinguish is to look at the shortest tusk, which is the dominant one with which it leads!
