The wine region of Darling
Coastal WO of the Coastal Region (Western Cape, ex-Swartland in 2003) 11 km from the Atlantic: signature Sauvignon Blanc as king white, grown in bush-vines (rare worldwide) — intense and unusual with signature lively citrus, tropical fruits and a fresh herbaceous touch. Signature Shiraz as king red in bush-vines — rich and spicy with black fruits, pepper and a smoky touch. Pinotage complement. Cool-climate refreshed by Benguela current, 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.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
