The wine region of Citrusdal Valley
WO district of Olifants River, 170 km north of Cape Town (valley between Cederberg and Olifants River Mountains, clay soils retaining moisture, hot days and significantly cool nights due to altitude): Chenin Blanc as signature white king adapted to multiple microclimates — complex profile and varietal expression through moist clay soils. Colombard as complement, cool-climate mineral Sauvignon Blanc, local table wines and brandies.
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: Trader-breeder
In the major wine regions, the négociant does not simply buy and resell the wines but, from very young wines, carries out all the maturing operations until bottling.
