Winery Du Toitskloof
The Winery Du Toitskloof was founded in 1962 by a group of winemakers and is a cooperative made up of various winegrowers who contribute their grapes for wine production. The cooperative promotes collaboration and the cultivation of quality wine grapes. The 18-hectare winery is located near the Du Toitskloof Pass in the western part of the Western Cape wine region in South Africa, just about an hour's drive from Cape Town. Over the years, the winery has received numerous awards for the quality of its wines. At the annual Michelangelo International Wine and Spirits Awards, Du Toitskloof won several gold medals for their wines for the second consecutive time.
Tasting notes
The Du Toitskloof Pinotage Rosé is a fresh and fruity rosé wine from South Africa. It consists of 100% Pinotage grapes, a grape variety native to South Africa known for its rich and intense wines.
The wine has a bright pink color and a bouquet of red fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is juicy and fresh, with a lively acidity structure and a hint of sweetness. Flavors of red berries and citrus fruits dominate the taste, followed by a long and refreshing finish.
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.
