It focuses on sustainable cultivation methods and has a modern wine production facility as well as an impressive visitor center that invites visitors to wine tastings, samplings, and tours.
Tasting notes
The Durbanville Hills Collectors Reserve Pinotage is an exceptional red wine made exclusively from the Pinotage grape. This wine is carefully selected and after fermentation, it matures for 18 months in French oak barrels before bottling. This gives it a complex aroma and flavor notes of cinnamon, plum, and cherry that harmonize perfectly.
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.
