The wine region of Tulbagh
WO district in horseshoe valley (Coastal Region, fortified Boberg, Western Cape): Shiraz signature red king — rich and spicy signature profile with intense black fruits, pepper and smoky touch, often in southern Rhône blends (Mourvèdre, Viognier). Chenin Blanc king in whites with white-flesh fruits and chiseled acidity, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as complement. Renowned Cap Classique method (Krone). Warm valley tempered by trapped cool air.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
