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: Clone
A vine propagated from a single specimen (by cuttings or grafting), as opposed to mass selection, which starts from a family of vines.
