VINIFICATION

The grapes originate from meticulously selected vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Durbanville areas. Special attention is given to ensure that the grapes are exposed to enough sunlight during the ripening period. This results in full, juicy berries rich in character and flavour.

 

STYLE

This medium-bodied wine shows an abundance of gooseberries, fig and guava with tropical fruit and hints of cut grass on the nose,  typical of this variety. The palate is full and concentrated, balanced by a zesty acidity that finishes with a lingering aftertaste.

 

SERVING SUGGESTION

Enjoy with vegetarian dishes, salads or lightly seasoned seafood or chicken dishes.  This is a lovely food wine, but can also be enjoyed on its own.

    Grande Provence Cabernet Sauvignon
    A ruby red wine that features red berry and plum flavours complemented by traces of mint on the palate.   WINE OF ORIGIN Franschhoek   VINTAGE 2016   ANALYSIS Alc 14.0% pH  3.47 RS 2.6  g/l TA 5.7 g/l   VINIFICATION The Grapes are harvested from southwest facing vineyards in the Franschhoek valley.  The well-drained, decomposed sandstone soils are ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon.  The winemaker implements appropriate canopy management to achieve berries with deep colour and concentrated fruit flavours. What makes this wine unique is the location of the vineyard. The vineyard is situated next to a row of eucalyptus trees. During winter rain, the eucalyptus trees suck up all the water from the surrounding soils. The water is then pushed out from the tip of the leaves and the wind disperses it over the vineyard where it lands on the grapes creating that unique minty taste in the wine. High temperatures during summer cause the eucalyptus trees to ‘sweat’ from the stomata and produce a mist that blows over the vineyard, further contributing to the minty flavour.   STYLE A medium-bodied red wine with upfront notes of raspberries, cherries mulberries, plumbs, slight notes of fruitcake, pencil shavings, tobacco and mint on the nose.  These juicy notes cross over onto the palate all supported by velvety tannins that linger and create an elegant finish. This wine was matured in French oak barrels for 24 months. Enjoy now or cellar for 5-8 years.   SERVING SUGGESTION Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile food wine that complements poultry and red meat dishes, especially roasts, marinated steaks and lamb skewers with mushroom and rosemary.

    Grande Provence Chardonnay
    An expressive wine with enticing fruity aromas and traces of vanilla and oak.   WINE OF ORIGIN Franschhoek   VINTAGE 2017   ANALYSIS Alc          13.7% pH          3.49 RS           2.2 g/l TA           5.2 g/l   VINIFICATION The Chardonnay grapes come from the valley of Robertsvlei in Franschhoek. With temperatures of up to 5°C colder than the Franschhoek valley floor, this is ideal for the cultivation of this noble variety.  Open canopies allow for sunshine to yellow the bunches and concentrate the fruity flavours.  A longer ripening period and moderate rainfall results in grapes filled with concentrated fruit flavours. Matured for 11 months in 50% first fill, 30% second fill and 20% third fill 500L French oak barrels.   STYLE An elegant, full bodied wine with outstanding fruit and wood integration.  Experience citrus, almonds and creamy notes on the nose, with nuances of vanilla.  The wine has a focused acidity on the palate with an elegant, lingering finish.   SERVING SUGGESTION Enjoy this beautiful wine with smoked fish and creamy seafood dishes.  Also works well with roasted pork or chicken.
