Idiom is a range of exclusive, award-winning wines hailing from Da Capo 
Vineyards, owned by the Bottega family. The vision of proprietor Alberto Bottega
is to produce a wide range of rich, interesting and high quality wines expressed in 
a Cape idiom, each as unique and enjoyable as the next: a selection of wines of 
outstanding pedigree that comprise The Idiom Collection.

The vineyards are located in the southernmost part of the Stellenbosch wine region near Sir Lowry’s Pass, overlooking False Bay. The farm is home to fourteen cultivars, including some of the rarer Mediterranean & Italian grape varietals such as
Nebbiolo, Sangiovese & Primitivo (Zinfandel).

The Idiom Collection is best known for its iconic blends, including a Cape Blend, Bordeaux-style blend and Rhone-style blend. Recently, Idiom has released the 
extremely limited 900 Series – wines that are considered exceptional enough to 
warrant special appreciation in a typical quantity of only three barrels (900 bottles).

Idiom has also just released a bespoke perfume, the first in a compendium of luxury products to fall under The Idiom Collection that will celebrate expressions by talented South African designers and artists.

Idiom by Tammy was created by Tammy Frazer of Frazer Parfum and emphasises 
the heritage and nature of South Africa. This rare scent is a libation perfume 
inspired by the Idiom Cape Blend and echoes the seductive nature of the wine’s pinotage base.

SALA Wealth Summit

7th March 2012
Sandton Sun

A two day summit with leading speakers in the luxury industry and wealth management space. This innovative conference is designed to explore the state of wealth in the South African market and to identify where lie the obstacles and the opportunities. By bringing together heads of private wealth management firms alongside leaders from the luxury industry we hope to overcome the lack of formal research into this market and share key insights and knowledge. The summit aims to look at the various dimensions shaping the generation and utilization of wealth so as to illuminate how people manage their wealth as well as how they spend it. Perhaps more than ever, in these economically challenging times, one needs to seek out and find those extremely elusive pockets of wealth and as the competition increases, find more considered ways to engage with valued clients in the future. According to the Credit Suisse 2011 Global Wealth Report there are 71,000 dollar millionaires in South Africa. The SALA Wealth Summit addresses a need for companies marketing to them, to understand how to generate, sustain and build connections with the wealth segment.
