The wine region of Tygerberg
Ward in the northern Coastal Region of the Cape (~12 km from the Atlantic and 25 km from False Bay, draining schist and granite soils, Mediterranean climate with regulating ocean breezes, dry-growing common): Sauvignon Blanc is the signature white — vibrant with herbaceous and tropical notes, acidity tightened by maritime breezes. Cool-climate Shiraz, Merlot and Chardonnay as refined complements. Aromatic concentration achieved through drought and sufficient winter rainfall.
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.
