Winery Stellenzicht
Stellenzicht, a historic Winery with a tradition dating back to 1692, is today synonymous with excellence and terroir expression. Located in one of South Africa's richest wine-growing regions, Stellenzicht carefully nurtures its unique soils and microclimates to produce wines that reflect the rich heritage and natural diversity of their surroundings. Since its revival in 2017, Stellenzicht consistently honors its history while simultaneously embracing innovation and modernity in its wines.
Every sip of a Stellenzicht wine is a journey through centuries of winemaking artistry, captured in a glass full of character, depth, and distinctive terroir.
Tasting notes
The Stellenzicht Silcrete Cinsault impresses with a deep, dark color, thanks to the intense red fruits and the Aged in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine initially shows slightly robust and fruity characteristics, dominated by various red fruits and spicy aromas.
The finish is clear and elegant, leaving a pleasant aftertaste on the tongue.
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.
