Winery Louisvale
Nestled in the gentle foothills of the Cape Folded Mountains lies
Louisvale,
a true gem among South African wineries. Even the approach along a
rocky access road, lined with olive groves, blooming purple lilacs
and stately water oaks, hints at the special location. At the entrance,
a huge bronze dragonfly welcomes guests, while behind it modern architecture
harmoniously blends with the picturesque surroundings. Visitors can expect a combination
of first-class wines, warm hospitality, and an
unparalleled view over the Devon Valley – a place where enjoyment
and nature unite in a special way.
Tasting notes
Der Boris von Louisvale präsentiert sich als charakterstarker Premium-Rotwein mit Tiefe und Finesse. In der Nase zeigen sich schwarze Kirsche und Blackberry, akzentuiert von feinen Noten Grafit und edler Würze. Am Gaumen kraftvoll und zugleich präzise, mit reifem Tannin, dichter Frucht und einem langen, vielschichtigen Abgang.
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.
Ratings
The Boris von Louise Vale präsentiert sich kraftvoll und zugleich elegant. In der Nase zeigen sich dunkle Beeren, reife Pflaumen und feine Würznoten, begleitet von einem Hauch Vanille und Schokolade. Am Gaumen dicht und vollmundig, mit gut eingebundenen Tanninen, saftiger Frucht und angenehmer Holzprägung. Der Abgang ist lang, warm und harmonisch. Ein charakterstarker südafrikanischer Rotwein mit Tiefe und Trinkfluss.
