The wine region of Klein Karoo
Semi-arid South African region of the Western Cape along Route 62 (Calitzdorp, Oudtshoorn), red alluvial soils, dry continental climate. Signature fortified Cape Port-style wines (Calitzdorp = South Africa's Port capital) from Tinta Barocca, Touriga Nacional and Souzão: opulent and chocolatey with dried fig, prune, cocoa, coffee and spiced notes, rounded sweetness and length. Shiraz, Pinotage and Cabernet as structured dry reds. Home of Cape brandies.
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
