Eikehof Cape Ruby Grandpa's 1942 Ford

The Eikehof Cape Ruby from the established Eikehof wine estate in Franschhoek is a full-bodied Cape Ruby with a strong character, made in the traditional "port style". After fermentation, the wine was fortified to 18% alcohol, retaining some of its natural residual sugar and retaining its harmonious sweetness.

In the glass, it has a deep, dark ruby red hue, while rich aromas of red and black berries, fine oak and subtle spice blend together on the palate. The well-balanced structure and velvety texture make this Cape Ruby a special treat, which comes into its own as a digestif or with desserts.

Enjoy the Eikehof Cape Ruby slightly chilled at 14-16 °C with chocolate desserts, mature cheese, nuts or simply as an elegant end to an enjoyable evening.

Eikehof ist ein familiengeführtes Boutique-Weingut im südafrikanischen Franschhoek Valley in der renommierten Weinregion Western Cape. Das Weingut liegt an der bekannten Weinroute nahe La Motte und ist seit 1903 im Besitz der Familie Malherbe. Heute führt François Malherbe das traditionsreiche Gut bereits in vierter Generation und produziert seine Weine noch immer im historischen Weinkeller der Familie.

Die rund 23 bis 58 Hektar große Farm ist von alten Eichenbäumen geprägt, die dem Weingut auch seinen Namen geben („Eikehof“ bedeutet sinngemäß „Hof der Eichen“). Besonders bekannt ist das Gut für seine historischen Sémillon-Reben aus dem Jahr 1902 – einer der ältesten noch produzierenden Weinberge Südafrikas.

Eikehof setzt auf eine handwerkliche, qualitätsorientierte Weinproduktion in kleinen Mengen. Nur ein Teil der auf dem Gut angebauten Trauben wird für die eigene Vinifikation verwendet, wodurch ein überschaubares Portfolio charakterstarker Weine entsteht. Das Weingut verbindet traditionelle Methoden mit moderner Kellertechnik und legt großen Wert auf authentischen Ausdruck des Franschhoek-Terroirs.

Als kleines Familienweingut steht Eikehof für persönliche Gastfreundschaft, sorgfältige Handarbeit und hochwertige südafrikanische Weine mit regionalem Charakter.

Boplaas Red Muscadel
The Boplaas Red Muscadel comes from the traditional Boplaas wine estate, which has been closely associated with the production of high-quality Muscat wines since the mid-19th century. This grape variety, Muscat de Frontignan, forms the historical basis of the South African Muscat tradition and is at the heart of Boplaas wine production. Only in exceptional vintages are the grapes from low-yielding, selected vineyards harvested by hand and processed into this characterful Red Muscadel.The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning, pressed in traditional lagares and left on the skins for three days, with intensive manual pigeages. The natural fermentation is stopped by spraying, which releases the complex variety of aromas that characterize the Boplaas Red Muscadel.In the glass, it is a bright crimson red and captivates with aromas of cranberry, mulberry, fresh strawberry jam, jasmine, rooibos and the typical nutmeg spice. It is full-bodied on the palate, with lively acidity and a harmonious, refreshing finish.Enjoy the Boplaas Red Muscadel slightly chilled at 10-12 °C with duck or pork dishes, traditional Cape Malay or Cantonese cuisine, with spicy desserts or on its own as an elegant aperitif.
