Winery Jacaranda
Embedded in the picturesque landscape of Stellenbosch stands the Jacaranda Wine Estate for artisanal viticulture with a clear focus on quality over quantity. As a deliberately small boutique estate, every step of production is precisely controlled – from the vineyard to the bottle.
The name "Jacaranda" refers to the distinctive trees that define the property and, during their flowering, create an impressive violet backdrop. This close connection to nature is also reflected in the winery's philosophy: sustainable cultivation, careful use of resources and a deep understanding of the terroir.
The vineyards benefit from the region's ideal climatic conditions – warm days, cool nights and maritime influences promote slow ripening and complex aromas. Primarily classic grape varieties are cultivated that optimally reflect Stellenbosch's potential.
In the cellar Jacaranda pursues a minimalist approach with as little intervention as possible to preserve the grapes' natural character. The result is elegant, structured wines with clear fruit, fine balance and depth – made for those who appreciate authenticity and individuality.
Tasting notes
Der Rebel Shiraz Viognier von Jacaranda zeigt sich mit intensiven Aromen von reifen roten Beeren, Pflaume und dunkler Chocolate, untermalt von einem Hauch weißer pepper und floraler Eleganz des Viognier. Am Gaumen präsentiert er sich saftig, vollmundig und harmonisch mit samtigen Tanninen und feiner Würze. Noten von Beerenkompott, Zedernholz und ein Hauch Vanille verleihen ihm Tiefe und Struktur. Der Abgang ist lang, rund und anhaltend mit einem warmen, leicht würzigen Nachhall.
Zusammensetzung:
86% Shiraz, 14% Viognier
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.
