The wine region of Worcester
South African district in the Breede River Valley (100 km west of Cape Town, sandy rocky soils, ~25% of national production): Chenin Blanc, Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc are the flagship whites — accessible and expressive profile. Shiraz is the flagship red: deep and robust with dark fruits (blackberry, plum, black cherry) and spicy complexity. Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon as complements. Nearly half of South Africa's Sémillon and a third of its Ruby Cabernet originate here.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
The word of the wine: Harmonious
Balance of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. This harmony is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
