The wine region of Worcester
South African district in the Breede River Valley (100 km west of Cape Town, sandy rocky soils, ~25% of national production): Chenin Blanc, Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc are the flagship whites — accessible and expressive profile. Shiraz is the flagship red: deep and robust with dark fruits (blackberry, plum, black cherry) and spicy complexity. Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon as complements. Nearly half of South Africa's Sémillon and a third of its Ruby Cabernet originate here.
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: Cuvée prestige (champagne)
Vintage or not, it is composed of a selection of terroirs and generally comes from the first press after eliminating the very first juices that come out of the press. The best known? Dom Pérignon, Cristal de Roederer, Grand Siècle de Laurent-Perrie, Louise at Pommery. In fact, all the houses and most of the independent winegrowers have their own prestige cuvee.
