Elegant tense Pinot Noir as king red (cherry, raspberry, earth, spices) and fresh Chardonnay as complement. WO Cape South Coast, 250-400 m altitude, ocean mists, varied soils (sandstone, granite, shale).
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: Elegant
Said of a wine that, beyond balance, presents qualities of charm and harmony, without the slightest heaviness.
