Posted on: 11 October 2023 Written by: Newmark Hotels & Reserves

Congratulations are in order, as the Kashew Restaurant at The Catalyst Hotel has recently scooped silver at the 2023 South African Star Wine List of the Year Awards. The team and management at Newmark Hotels are extremely honoured to have won this accolade in one of the world’s most recognised wine awards.

What the Star Wine List Awards are All About

The Star Wine List Awards originated in Stockholm in 2017 and have grown to become one of the most prestigious wine awards internationally. It features over 2000 top wine lists from 35 countries and provides an authoritative online guide to the best wines in the world for wine lovers. 

“Kashew Restaurant and the bar at The Catalyst Hotel have been gradually gaining a reputation with Johannesburg wine lovers. It is extremely exciting that this announcement will accelerate awareness about the restaurant, putting it on the South African map as a sought-after local destination for wine connoisseurs,” said Neil Markovitz, CEO of Newmark Hotels & Reserves.

Wine and Dine at Kashew Restaurant

The highly acclaimed wine list at Kashew Restaurant was curated by Newmark’s Group Sommelier, Marlvin Gwese, who has worked at some of Cape Town’s leading establishments. The wine list is extensive, featuring over 70 of the best South African wines and many up-and-coming wine estates that are bringing sustainability into their farming practices. This is perfectly in line with Newmark’s focus on providing quality dining experiences for its guests at all the hotels in the company’s portfolio. 

The wine list at Kashew Restaurant was also created to compliment the restaurant’s new all-day dining menu that reflects the cosmopolitan vibe of the Johannesburg CBD. The menu presents inviting options such as plant-based smoothie bowls and gourmet avocado toast for the health-conscious, as well as delectable steak dishes, sushi, pastas, prego rolls, and traditional pap and wors prepared in a modern, upmarket style.
