Boekenhoutskloof Porcupine Ridge Syrah

The Porcupine Ridge Syrah from the Boekenhoutskloof winery is an extraordinarily powerful and herbal Syrah with hints of plums, dark berries and white pepper. It stands out from the sea of all too similar wines of this grape variety. On the palate, this South African wine shows exceptional balance and structure. High-quality grapes with high concentration and grippy tannins make this accessible wine juicy and elegant.

The dry red wine is ideal with pizza and pasta, dark meat, duck, lamb, game and roasts with heavy sauces.

The vineyard is home to several families of porcupines, which are rarely seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle. The ongoing efforts to grow wine in harmony with nature are reflected in the "Porcupine Ridge" wine line.

Boekenhoutskloof

Das Weingut Boekenhoutskloof und die Landschaft wirken französisch. Es liegt in Franschhoek und ist eines der ältesten Weingüter mit hugenottischen Wurzeln. Auch die Weine erinnern an Frankreich, weil der Winzer Marc Kent einmal pro Jahr Frankreich besucht, um sich neu inspirieren zu lassen.

Auf 20 ha Rebfläche werden zu 25% Weißwein (Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon) und zu 75% Rotweine (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc) angebaut. Die Temperatur ist im Jahresdurchschnitt durch den Seewind aus Südosten etwas kühler. Die Art der Böden auf dem Gut sind unterschiedlich: von tiefen Schwemmböden am Ufer des Flusses bis zu harten Lehmböden und verwittertem Granit.

Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards Syrah

Am Gaumen ist er hoch konzentriert mit einer leicht tintigen Note. Gefolgt von herrlichen Aromen einer Brombeermarmelade, einem Hauch Minze, gepfefferter Salami und Veilchen.Die feine Säure und strukturierten Tannine sorgen für eine selten zu findende Eleganz. Die Holznoten der eingesetzten Eichenfässer werden durch eine Fülle von Fruchtextrakten ausgeglichen, die einen langen, opulenten, süß-fruchtigen Abgang ergeben. Das Alterungspotential des Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyard Syrah liegt bei mindestens 10 Jahren.Zu allen Wildgerichten eine sehr gute Wahl. Lässt sich auch mit Schimmelkäse gut kombinieren.

Barista Pinotage
A South African taste experience of intense, rich coffee and chocolate aromas with nuances of ripe mulberries, plums and cherries.This dry red wine is also the perfect accompaniment to food. It pairs very well with dark meat, creamy casseroles and even intense desserts. Also a great accompaniment to blue cheese or Belgian chocolate. Vinified ready to drink from the start for immediate enjoyment. We recommend 18 °C as the ideal drinking temperature.The Barista Pinotage from the Val De Vie vineyard is made from 100% Pinotage grapes from the Robertson region. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness in mid-February and divided into different batches and treated in different ways.Certain batches were treated by short heating to optimize color and then returned to the skins for alcoholic fermentation. Other batches were pasteurized and immediately fermented on oak to achieve the dark, rich coffee flavors. Still other batches were fermented conventionally on the skins and pumped over several times during alcoholic fermentation and racked into French oak to complete fermentation. All batches were stabilized by malolactic fermentation in French oak.
