The wine region of Swartland
South African renaissance north of Cape Town: signature Chenin Blanc as king white (old bush vines) — full and mineral with notes of quince, honey, yellow fruits, toasted almond and a saline touch, noble texture and a refined finish. Signature Syrah as king red — spicy and fleshy with blackberry, raspberry, garrigue and pepper, fine tannins. Grenache and Cinsault complete it. Non-interventionist winemaking (whole bunch, old foudres).
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.
