Winery Cape Point Vineyards
Cape Point Vineyards is a family-run Winery uniquely located in Noordhoek on the Cape Peninsula. It is majestically situated on the slopes of the famous Chapman's Peak mountain range and offers a view of the nearby Atlantic Ocean - only about 1.2 km away. Cool sea breezes along with ancient mountain soils create a unique terroir with a late growing season that leads to a world-class Sauvignon Blanc with mineral notes and great complexity.
Tasting notes
The Chardonnay from Winery Cape Point Vineyards presents a complex interplay of citrus fruits, apricot, oatmeal, and honey flavor with strong minerality and some subtle spicy oak notes.
Grape Variety
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.
Ratings
Ein echtes Meisterwerk! Komplex, aber dennoch leicht.
Ein exzellenter Weißwein mit harmonischer Säure und einem knackigen Abgang.
Perfekt ausbalancierter Weißwein mit feiner Säure und Fruchtigkeit. Sehr erfrischend!
Der Chardonnay hat ein angenehmen und sanften Geschmack durch den perfekten Ausgleich der süße des Honigs und seiner fruchtigen Note! Schmeckt sogar ein ticken besser als der andere Jahrgang:)
