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: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
