The wine region of Bot River
Ward of the Walker Bay district (Western Cape, South Africa) between Houw Hoek and the Bot River lagoon, 50 km from Stellenbosch: Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are the signature aromatic whites; Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Shiraz as reds. Mixed Bokkeveld shale and Table Mountain sandstone soils, valley exposed to Atlantic and lagoon breezes — late ripening, aromatic complexity and balanced acidity. Small independent estates, distinctive maritime profile.
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: Water stress
Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
