Discover the grape variety: Joubertin
Light and simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties under study. Rare French black grape, once grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
Ward of Walker Bay (Western Cape, South Africa) — the highest-altitude appellation (>15 km from the coast) of the Hemel-en-Aarde complex: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Burgundian style among ~20 focused producers. Ancient soils of decomposed granite over rocky clays — a rare geological feature within greater Walker Bay clearly distinguishing it from the lower valley. Cool climate influenced by the cold Benguela current at 34°S, slow ripening.
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: Biodynamics
Biodynamic farming method initiated by Rudolf Steiner which forbids all chemical treatments based on synthetic products. Biodynamics is based on the interaction between the movements of the planets and the development of plants and uses preparations based on organic and mineral materials.
