The wine region of Simonsberg-Stellenbosch
Ward of the Stellenbosch district (Western Cape, South Africa) on the slopes of the Simonsberg (1,400 m) at the Paarl border. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinotage in structured Bordeaux blends; dense Syrah completes the red palette (25 cellars). Deep colour, nose of blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and cedar after a minimum 7 years. Decomposed granite soils with deep red clays — massive tannins, climate slightly warmer than the rest of the district.
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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
