The wine region of Stellenbosch
Showcase of the South African vineyard: signature Cabernet Sauvignon as king red — structured and age-worthy with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and a menthol touch, firm tannins. Emblematic national Pinotage (created 1925) opulent and smoky (blackberry, coffee, leather). Fleshy Shiraz, supple Merlot as complement. Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
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: Ovoids (tanks)
Egg-shaped vats used for wine making and maturing that favour the natural suspension of the lees thanks to the vortex movements, which give the wine more fat and fruity aromas.
