Ep 44: Kudu Collective - South African inspired restaurants in South London
We welcome our first couple, Patrick Williams and Amy Corbin, to The Premier Cru! Patrick and Amy are the dynamic duo behind the ⁠Kudu Collective⁠ - a set of South African inspired restaurants in South London.

Since opening in 2018, Patrick and Amy have been serving exceptional modern European food with a South African twist, influenced by Patrick's upbringing in South Africa. From establishing a loyal customer base as a neighbourhood restaurant to battling through COVID, they have since expanded to multiple sites. The Kudu Collective has something for everyone including a cocktail bar and a traditional braai grill!
On the episode we introduce you to the Kudu Collective and discuss South African food and wine. We also taste three wines on their lists by:

    skin contact duration post fermentation does not dictate how dark or how extracted the wine is. you could leave this specific wine on skins for three years, it would still stay as it is, if anything it will get softer, just like in red wines.

      Good man! If you can try and get one with some bottle age, 2010 or older, the 05 is great, 2003 and 1998 are stellar but more pricey!
