Windmeul Kelder

Das Weingut Windmeul Kelder liegt malerisch an den Hängen des Paarl-Berges in Südafrika. Das Gebiet ist etwa eine Stunde Fahrtzeit nördlich von Kapstadt entfernt und gehört zu den bekanntesten Weinanbaugebieten des Landes. Windmeul Kelder ist nach einer Windmühle benannt, die früher eine der schönsten und produktivsten der Region war. Die Mühle war auch deshalb weit berühmt, weil sie die einzige in der Gegend mit Segel war.

Nach der Zerstörung der Mühle gründeten 1944 ein paar Winzer auf dem Gelände eine Genossenschaft. Heute, mehr als 80 Jahre später, zählt Windmeul Kelder zu den größten und besten Weingütern in Südafrika. Mehr als 14.500 Tonnen Trauben pro Saison werden von einer Fläche von 1.700 Hektar verarbeitet. Geleitet wird die Weinproduktion von Winemaker Francois van Niekerk.

Das Repertoire bei Windmeul Kelder ist durch eine Vielzahl von Rebsorten geprägt. Am meisten wird Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Shiraz, Chardonnay und Chenin Blanc angebaut. Der Pinotage Reserve schaffte es in den letzten Jahren zweimal unter die Top 10 bei Südafrikas ABSA Pinotage Awards. Auch der Sauvignon Blanc 2014 war sehr erfolgreich. Beim Michelangelo International Wine Award in Südafrika erhielt er zweimal Gold.

Im Jahr 2023 wurde die neue Linie Sandfluistraar auf den Markt gebracht.

Full-bodied and round on the palate, with very good structure, refreshing acidity, a smoky minerality and aromas of black olives, as well as licorice and ripe plums.The vegan wine from the Franschhoek region was matured in oak for 16 months, with 10% new barrels being used.This exceptional red wine is ideal with pasta and pizza, dark meat (roasted or grilled), smoked meats or medium-strength cheese or hard cheese at a drinking temperature of 18°C.Also available in a 1.5-liter magnum bottle.

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.

Spier Signature Pinotage
By planting the pinotage grapes in rows in a north-easterly direction the grapes are not in the bright afternoon sun. This prevents them to develop a roasted and spicy aroma. And it helps even more that the sea is near, only 8 kilometer away. By low proceeds of 50 hectoliters per hectare the grapes get lots of intensity and the wine has enough strength and depth to let a part of it mature in wooden barrels. Fermentation at no more than 25 ° C ensures plenty of fruit. 40% of the wine matured in French oak barrels or American origin, making this a pleasant vanilla tasty Pinotage without sacrificing the fruit.
