The wine region of Slanghoek
Ward of the Breedekloof district (Western Cape, South Africa) between the Slanghoek Mountains and the Breede River: Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc as aromatic signature whites, Chardonnay, Sémillon and botrytised hybrids as complements; Shiraz and Cinsault for reds. Mountain shadows shorten hot days and create strong nocturnal temperature swings — acidity and phenolic ripeness preserved. Draining alluvial soils on a gravel bed, varied mesoclimates across the valleys.
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: Varietal wine
Name given to the local wine (IGP), produced from a single grape variety that gives the wine its characteristics of structure and aroma. The Languedoc is the leading producer of this type of wine, from most of the major French grape varieties.
