Simple whites and reds with the characteristic foxy taste of Vitis labrusca (wild strawberry, wild raspberry), a supple palate with moderate acidity, and a rustic profile marked by labruscoid notes. In France, one of the six prohibited hybrids since 1935 (along with Clinton, Herbemont, Jacquez, Noah, Othello). Still found in heritage trellises and in some countries (Brazil, Georgia). American hybrid derived from Vitis labrusca, imported to Europe in the 19th century.

The wine region of Paarl
South African star at the foot of the granite rock (60 km north of Cape Town): Shiraz reigns in reds — powerful and sun-soaked with notes of blackberry, plum, black pepper, spices and a smoky touch, sturdy tannins. Structured Cabernet and Pinotage complement. Chenin Blanc king of whites — ample and lively with notes of honey, yellow fruit, candied citrus and white flowers, age-worthy acidity. Renowned Rhône-style blends.
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.
