The wine region of Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
Ward of the Western Cape ("Heaven and Earth" in Dutch) near Hermanus: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the signature wines with a restrained Burgundian profile. Chardonnay with vibrant acidity and clear minerality — citrus, apple and pear rather than tropical. Spicy and savoury Pinot Noir with cherries, raspberries and earthy notes. Atlantic breezes cooled by the Benguela current, latitude 34°S, Bokkeveld shale soils.
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
