Cuvées aus Südafrika
Cuvée Wines are among the most expensive wines in the world. Vintages include, among other things, very well-known wines from very famous growing regions such as Bordeaux in France or the Rioja growing region in Spain. Probably the best known Cuvée of the world is the champagne. This consists of the three grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
Also in South Africa become world famous Vintages manufactured. This is also due in large part to French history.
WHAT IS A CUVÉE?
One Cuvée consists of different grape varieties. But a blend of different sites of the same grape variety is also called Cuvée designated.
The grapes can be blended at two different times. On the one hand, this already happens during pressing. The consequence of this is joint fermentation in tanks or wooden barrels. On the other hand, the wine is often only blended after successful fermentation. This is how the wine matures together during storage.
