Pat's Garden Merlot war schon immer eine Cuvée aus überwiegend Merlot mit einem Zusatz von etwa 8%-12% Cabernet Franc. Diese „Cuvée“ fiel praktischerweise in den rechtlichen Rahmen für einen Wein, der als reinsortiger Wein etikettiert wird. Wir dachten uns, warum ist 15% die magische Zahl? Also begannen wir mit einer Erkundung unter Verwendung der 4 traditionellen Bordeaux-Trauben: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot und Cabernet Sauvignon... Das Ergebnis? Wir präsentieren den neuen Pat's Garden Reserve! Eine von Bordeaux inspirierte Cuvée, die das Beste der 4 edlen Rebsorten von Bordeaux in einer köstlichen Flasche vereint.

Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.

In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.

The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
