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: Acidity
When present without excess, acidity contributes to the balance of the wine, giving it freshness and nervousness. But when it is very high, it becomes a defect, giving it a biting and green character. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, the wine is soft.
