Print product information sheet

This Merlot was mainly aged for more than one year in barriques and is redolent of ripe red berries, plums and cedar, along with nuances of chocolate. The Kleine Zalze Cellar Merlot is wonderfully structured on the palate, with ripe, well-integrated tannins, a fresh acidity and a pleasant, fruity lightness. The finish is long-lasting.

This pure varietal Merlot from the Coastal region matured for one year in French barriques. The dry red wine is a delight to enjoy simply on its own but also goes beautifully with a good meal. Try it with roasts, game ragout or biltong (dried, cured meat typical of South African cuisine).

Kleine Zalze

Das südafrikanische Weingut Kleine Zalze, mit deutschen Wurzeln, besteht seit 300 Jahren. Es war immer in Familienbesitz und die hervorragenden Weine des Weinguts lassen auf die fleißige und innovative Entwicklung schließen, die das Weingut Kleine Zalze zu dem gemacht hat, was es heute darstellt. Ein Aushängeschild für südafrikanische Weine, in aller Welt beliebt und begehrt.

Kobus Basson, der heutige Chef des modernen Weinguts, hat seine Philosophie so erklärt: „Eine Kombination der Fruchtaromen und die Intensität der ‚Neuen Welt‘ mit der Eleganz und Struktur der ‚Alten Welt‘ sind der Erfolg für Weine mit Charakter, Komplexität und Balance“. Nach diesem Motto produzierte Weine präsentiert er auf internationalen Wettbewerben, bei denen er immer wieder Goldmedaillen für seine akribisch vinifizierten Weine mit nach Hause nimmt.

Die Strategie im Weinberg ist einfach. Der Erfolg des Winzers beginnt im Weinberg, dort wird das Fundament für große Weine errichtet. Bassons sorgfältige Gutsverwaltung sorgt für umfangreiche, natürliche Ressourcen. Seine innovative, zeitgerechte Arbeit im Weinberg, angefangen bei der Auslaubung und Ertragsreduzierung, über selektive Anpflanzung, Bodenverbesserung, dem Terroir und der Sorte entsprechend, sowie der sorgsame Umgang mit dem Lesegut, bis hin zur Weiterverarbeitung, sichert den Erfolg der Kleinen Zalze.

Seine Weißweine, Rotweine und Cuvées sind legendär. Ob Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Viognier oder Gamay, die Weine für sich oder als herrliche Cuvée kombiniert, sind einzigartig.

On the palate, the Sauvignon Blanc is tangy, lively and fruity, with the typical herbaceous freshness and an elegant, lingering finish.Vinification is carried out with gentle treatment of the grapes, prolonged maceration and fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, followed by two months of ageing on the fine lees to preserve depth and complexity.The Kleine Zalze Cellar Sauvignon Blanc is an ideal accompaniment to fish and poultry dishes, Asian dishes, vegetable variations or fresh salads and develops its full aroma at a drinking temperature of 8-10 °C. It can be enjoyed now or stored for a few more years to further develop its structure and fruitiness.
