Aaldering Vineyards & Wines

Im Jahre 2004 entschied sich der Geschäftsmann Fons Aaldering (67) zu einer „zweiten Karriere“ und kaufte zusammen mit seiner Frau Marianne ein 24 ha großes Weingut im Devon Valley, im Weinbaugebiet um die Stadt Stellenbosch in Südafrika. Aalderings erklärtes Ziel war es, in kürzester Zeit einer der Top-Weinproduzenten Südafrikas zu werden. So entstand Aaldering Vineyards & Wines.

Mit dem neuen Management kamen große Veränderungen auf das Weingut zu. Der Rebbestand wurde komplett neu gepflanzt, Bewässerungssysteme optimiert und 2012 wurde eine neue, moderne Kellerei in Betrieb genommen.

Im Jahr 2007 kamen die ersten Aaldering-Weine auf den Markt. Inzwischen werden sie weltweit in 26 Länder exportiert und bei mehreren Fluggesellschaften in der First- bzw. Business-Class serviert. Eine besondere Auszeichnung für das kleine, südafrikanische Weingut mit niederländischen Wurzeln. Darüber hinaus sind Aaldering-Weine vielfach preisgekrönt und wurden von Robert Parker mit über 90 Punkten sowie mit 4 Sternen von John Platter ausgezeichnet.

Aaldering stellt seinen Wein ausschließlich aus Trauben des eigenen Weinguts her. Als Rebsorten wählte man neben der Pinotage, dem Wein Südafrikas, verschiedene ursprünglich französische Sorten, wie Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet und Merlot.

Winemaker und General Manager Dustin Osborne hat die Jahresproduktion auf 120.000 Flaschen angesetzt. Das „Flaggschiff“ des Weinguts ist der Pinotage, der in unterschiedlichen Versionen ausgebaut wird, darunter ist ein Pinotage blanc. Bei den „Florence“ Weinen, benannt nach der Enkeltochter der Aalderings, handelt es sich um jugendliche Cuvées für jeden Anlass.

In den Aaldering-Weingärten setzt man neueste Erkenntnisse über nachhaltigen Weinbau um. So wird zum Beispiel bei der Bewirtschaftung viel Wert auf den Erhalt der Biodiversität gelegt. Zwischen den Reben darf eine Vielzahl von Pflanzen wachsen. Mittlerweile wurde Aaldering Vineyards & Wines sogar von Enviro Wines (einer ökologischen Zertifizierungsorganisation) bescheinigt, zur recht kleinen Gruppe der optimal produzierenden Weinbaubetriebe in Südafrika zu gehören.

Product recommendation

Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chenin Blanc
Notes of peach, guava, peach and sweet melon characterize the bouquet of the Kleine Zalze Vineyard Chenin Blanc. There are also subtle nuances of vanilla and oak. On the palate, this Chenin Blanc from the Coastal region is very balanced and creamy, with an elegant acidity and a pleasant, underlying minerality.This fine white wine from South Africa matured for seven months in barriques. No new barrels were used to ensure that the unique characteristics of the specific terroirs were retained in the wine. This Chenin Blanc can be enjoyed now, but with careful cellaring it should age elegantly over the next 10 years. The dry wine is a suitable accompaniment to seafood and fish, asparagus and poultry.
