The wine region of Outeniqua
Ward of Cape South Coast in South Africa (slopes of the Outeniqua mountains between Mossel Bay and George, south of the Klein Karoo, fresh climate influenced by the Indian Ocean). Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir lead as the signature white and red — fresh, expressive profiles suited to the temperate altitude terroir. Full-bodied structured reds as complements; emerging ward alongside Cango Valley and Tradouw, with a coastal mountain identity.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
