The wine region of Walker Bay
Cool-climate district of Cape Overberg (South Africa, ~1h from Cape Town): signature Pinot Noir red king in Burgundian style — elegant with hallmark notes of cherry, raspberry, spice and mineral touch, exuberant acidity and fruit concentration preserved by the Benguela Antarctic current. Racy Chardonnay white king — crisp with white flowers, citrus, butter and minerality. Flinty Sauvignon Blanc in support. Hemel-en-Aarde flagship, sandstone-schist-granite.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
