Tasting Notes
The Grande Provence The Grande Provence Red is a full-bodied, perfectly balanced red wine from the renowned Winery Grande Provence in South Africa. This wine is a modern interpretation of a classic Bordeaux and impresses with a harmonious and multi-layered composition.
The The Grande Provence Red is made from a carefully balanced cuvée of hand-selected grapes. The deep ruby color already hints at the wine’s intense aroma profile. On the nose it unfolds a complex bouquet with notes of cedar, cherry tobacco and cigar box, underscored by fruity nuances such as blackcurrant, toasted strawberries, bright cherries and raspberries.
Composition
Merlot (60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (29%), Malbec (11%)
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.
