		<description><![CDATA[Clout/SA was officially launched to the local and international market in the last week of June 2021. Clout/SA is a purpose-first enterprise, creative agency, and business-to-business (B2B) market-maker for South African design. The aim is to promote South Africa’s creativity, craftsmanship and heritage. Additionally, creating opportunities for collaboration between corporates and designers is a main driver. Clout/SA’s founding project and one of its ongoing directives is the Nando’s Design Programme. As part of the Nando’s Design Programme, Clout/SA developed and facilitated one of South Africa’s top biennial design competitions, the Nando’s Hot Young Designer Talent Search. This competition has launched and supported local design careers, including that of Mash T. design’s Thabiso Mjo, one of the first winners of the competition in 2016. Mjo has described the competition as having “changed the trajectory of my entire life”. In 2020, she went on to make history when she became the first South African designer ever to have her work placed in the permanent collection of the Louvre’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France. Clout/SA’s work on the Nando’s Design Programme led to the development and launch of the Nando’s Portal to Africa in 2018. The portal is an online shopping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sublime result of pioneering cellar techniques and precision viticulture, De Toren’s The Black Lion bears the hallmark of all the estate’s wines – a devotion to superlative quality. Known primarily for its focus on the Bordeaux cultivars, De Toren’s The Black Lion was the estate’s first venture outside of these stylistic parameters. An answer to the challenge of creating ‘the best wine in the world’, this 100% shiraz certainly sets the benchmark. Hailed as the most powerful shiraz ever produced in South Africa, De Toren’s The Black Lion is a large, bold and powerful wine, a masterful alchemy of hand-chosen fruit. Wine Enthusiast has historically awarded this robust beauty a stellar 95 points, securing it the title as Wine Enthusiast’s highest ever rated SA Shiraz. This wine &#8211; crafted from the ancient soils of Africa and cultivated from specially selected vines that are nurtured by special hand-manicuring and individual attention &#8211; is the result of a meticulous and extreme approach to winemaking. The Black Lion is truly, and profoundly, a labour of love. Taking into account soil combinations as well as meso and macro-climates, carefully selected vineyards from three unique sites – the Swartland (for its structure), Stellenbosch (for its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well-known Cape Town restaurant, La Mouette, has recently been given an image overhaul by established Cape Town interior designer, Liam Mooney. The hugely popular La Mouette &#8211; co-owned by chef Henry Vigar, his wife Mari, who heads up front of house, as well as their long-time friend, Gerrit Bruwer &#8211; first opened in May 2010. Proving to be an instant success with the Cape Town dining public, the restaurant is renowned for its tasting menu, which changes seasonally, and its innovative take on classic French cuisine that chef Henry has bought to the establishment. With a long history of working in Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK, including Auberge du Lac, La Noisette and Kensington Place, Henry’s talent and training are evident in the highly praised menu offerings as well as the exceptional wine pairings and broad selection. &#160; After having built up a devoted following in the last five years, the owners felt that a new interior setting was needed in order to fully reflect the integral components that make La Mouette such a unique dining spot in Cape Town &#8211; primarily, these are creativity, quality and innovation. It was with these fundamentals in mind that they commissioned Mooney to [...]]]></description>
