The wine region of Groenekloof
Ward of the Darling district (Coastal Region, South Africa), 50 km north of Cape Town at the foot of Dassenberg, ~16 km from the Atlantic: Sauvignon Blanc signature in bush vines (rare globally) with concentrated aromas, Shiraz and Pinotage in reds. Maritime climate strongly influenced by the Atlantic — warm mornings, cool sea breezes in the afternoon, fogs extending ripening. Decomposed red granite soils retaining water — dryland viticulture favoured by south-east winds.
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: Côte des Blancs
One of the most famous terroirs of the Champagne region, from Épernay to Vertus, mainly devoted to Chardonnay, hence its name. The villages of Chouilly, Cramant, Cuis, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, etc., lying on the chalk, are in a way to Champagne what Meursault, Chablis and Puligny are to Burgundy.
