The wine region of Robertson
South African "home of Chardonnay" in the Breede valley: signature king white, full and fresh with notes of citrus, apple, white peach, vanilla and a chalky mineral touch, preserved acidity. Excellent Cap Classique sparkling (traditional method) rivalling good Champagnes. Sunny Shiraz as red (blackberry, plum, spice, pepper), structured Cabernet and Pinotage as reds. Chenin and Colombard as whites.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
