The wine region of Franschhoek

Mythical South African valley founded by French Huguenots in 1688: Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz signatures as king reds — concentrated and velvety with blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, chocolate, eucalyptus and a spice touch, round tannins and a long finish. Historic Sémillon emblematic white (candied lemon, honey, wax) and ample Chardonnay as backup. Cap Classique sparkling of excellence. WO, sheltered Mediterranean climate, refreshing Atlantic breezes.


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.
