The wine region of Walker Bay
Cool-climate district of Cape Overberg (South Africa, ~1h from Cape Town): signature Pinot Noir red king in Burgundian style — elegant with hallmark notes of cherry, raspberry, spice and mineral touch, exuberant acidity and fruit concentration preserved by the Benguela Antarctic current. Racy Chardonnay white king — crisp with white flowers, citrus, butter and minerality. Flinty Sauvignon Blanc in support. Hemel-en-Aarde flagship, sandstone-schist-granite.
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: Botrytis
Fungus that causes grape rot.
