The wine region of Cape Agulhas
Southernmost wine region of South Africa (Elim district, 16 km from the sea, dual Atlantic and Indian Ocean influence, constant winds, lateritic clay "coffee-stone" soils): Sauvignon Blanc is the signature white — precise acidity, vibrant tropical aromas and a distinctive saline finish. Sémillon and Shiraz as complements. Coolest Cape region, thick skins and slow, concentrated ripening.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
