Discover the grape variety: Blancard
Simple dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Now almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West vineyard and belongs to the heritage grape varieties being studied. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
