Winery Peter Falke
In the heart of the South African wine region Stellenbosch, picturesque on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains, is the Winery Peter Falke Wines. The traditional Groenvlei Farm, which can trace its roots back to the 18th century, is today run by the world-renowned hosiery manufacturer Peter Falke and his French wife Daniele, who are among the most respected wine producers in South Africa.
Already at a young age, Peter Falke discovered his passion for South Africa and its exquisite wines. Through the opening of a branch of his textile company Falke in the 1970s, he visited the country regularly and forged close ties to the land and its people. In the 1990s, he and his wife finally decided to realize their dream and acquired the historic Groenvlei estate.
Today, the Winery Peter Falke Wines shines in a harmonious blend of centuries-old tradition and contemporary modernity. Daniele, a talented designer, significantly shaped the beautiful interior design and furnishings of the winery. The ambiance is complemented by a state-of-the-art wine cellar, a stylish boutique, and a luxurious outdoor lounge with an adjoining restaurant. These components come together to form a feel-good package that makes the estate a special experience for wine lovers.
Tasting notes
The Peter Falke Signature Kanoa is the flagship wine of the winery and embodies the highest quality. For this exquisite cuvée of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Cabernet Franc, only the best grapes were selected. The two red grape varieties give the wine an impressive bouquet of raspberries, plums, and black cherries. On the palate, these rich fruit notes unfold, masterfully underlined by fine oak nuances.
The silky tannins, which the Peter Falke Signature Kanoa owes to its eighteen-month Aged in French oak, provide an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel. The refined red wine delights with an exceedingly long finish that invites pure enjoyment. However, it is also always an excellent choice with aromatic dishes.
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.
