South African "home of Chardonnay" in the Breede valley: signature king white, full and fresh with notes of citrus, apple, white peach, vanilla and a chalky mineral touch, preserved acidity. Excellent Cap Classique sparkling (traditional method) rivalling good Champagnes. Sunny Shiraz as red (blackberry, plum, spice, pepper), structured Cabernet and Pinotage as reds. Chenin and Colombard as whites.
Warm climate tempered by the Langeberg, lime-rich alluvium.
Rich, ample whites with a golden robe, showing aromas of pear, quince, honey, smoke, ginger and spice. Made as structured dry wines (Alsace AOC), off-dry and sumptuous late-harvest sweet (vendange tardive, sélection de grains nobles). Lighter and crisper in Italy as Pinot Grigio (Veneto, Friuli). Also in Germany (Grauburgunder), Hungary (Szürkebarát) and Oregon. A grey mutation of Pinot Noir.
