ORIGIN : Breede River Valley, South Africa The vineyards in the Breede River Valley covers close to 40,000 acres (16,000 hectares). This valley has many tributaries, each with a different micro climate relating to rainfall, different terroir, different temperatures. This valley has all the elements, soils, climates, rainfall, which are normally found in the total wine producing areas of a wine producing country. In most of this valley, the berry sizes are controlled by water starvation programmes implemented as part of a carefully monitored and scientific viticulture method, to ensure optimum flavour of the fruit and skins. Very few of the known natural enemies for vineyards exist in this valley. |
| Cabernet Sauvignon | A robust
and complex wine with intense berry fruit aromas and flavours, beautifully
enhanced by well- integrated French oak that is second only to the
excitement of the South African Experience. |
| Shiraz | This wine beckons with
characteristic Shiraz aromas that are beautifully translated on the
velvety smooth palate where fine-grained tannins harmonise with a
slight hint of French oak that is second only to the excitement of
the South African Experience. |
| Merlot | An excellent example
of this region, the wine combines ripe fruity, exotic spicy and interesting
woody components on the velvety smooth palate that is second only
to the excitement of the South African Experience. |
| Chardonnay | This rich and creamy
Chardonnay is lightly wooded and rewards with ripe tropical flavours,
supported by a hint of butterscotch and is second only to the excitement
of the South African Experience. |
| Sauvignon Blanc | A crisp refreshing style
of Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas and flavours of Gooseberry, Grapefruit,
lime and orange blossom. The generous fruit is framed with a mineral
characteristic that develops in the glass to flint and smoke. It shows
good depth and concentration for such a value. A great wine with shellfish
or anything from the sea. Crisp and fruity with aromas and flavours
of wild flowers, white peaches, kiwi and ripe pear. A zesty acidity
pushes the fruit to a smooth, polished finish. Drink now with your
favourite salads and lighter dishes. |
