The wine region of Bottelary
Ward of Stellenbosch (Western Cape, South Africa) — one of eight official wards: old bush-vine Chenin Blanc as signature, powerful Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon on warm sites. Rich clay soils with excellent water retention contrasting with the mountain soils of the rest of Stellenbosch — signature geological diversity. Hot, dry climate tempered by south-east breezes from False Bay. Structure and concentration as hallmarks.
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: Powdery mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Less dreadful than mildew, it only attacks the surface of the green parts. Sulphur has long been the best remedy.
