Winery Morgenster
The Winery Morgenster is a small gem in the Somerset West region. In close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, at the foot of a mountain, only 74 hectares of the 200-hectare estate are planted with vines and olive trees. The Winery is known not only for its outstanding view but also for its authentic and complex wines.
In the 1990s, Giulio Bertrand and his Winery Morgenster in South Africa took a pioneering role and paved the way for the olive oil culture in South Africa with his innovative concept of cultivating olives alongside wine at the Cape. Morgenster offers, in addition to the classic wine tasting, an olive oil tasting.
The flagship wine of the Winery is the Morgenster Estate Reserve, which has already received numerous awards and is appreciated by wine lovers around the world.
Tasting notes
The Vermentino 2021 from Winery Morgenster has a complex variation of fruit and minerality, which makes it unique. On the palate, it is very aromatic and refreshing.
Vermentino's aromatic flavor profile includes elegant notes of fresh pineapple and pink grapefruit, with subtle hints of citrus peel and nutmeg on the nose.
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
Ein Genuss, der das Herz höher schlagen lässt.
Der Wein hat eine strohgelbe Farbe. Schönes Aroma von Zitrusfrüchten und Pfirsichen, durchzogen von Mineralien. Leichter bis mittelschwerer Körper mit ebenfalls schöner Mineralität. Relativ weich und mit wenig Säure, aber dennoch frisch.
Wunderbar ausgewogen: eine spritzige, aber nicht erdrückende Säure, ein vollmundiger, knackiger und trockener Gaumen, überlagert von süßen Muskatnoten.
Ganz anders. Außergewöhnlich spritzig mit kräftiger aber angenehmer Säure. Öliges Mundgefühl mit einer Mineralität von Zitronenschalen und Grapefruit und einem kräftigen Grapefruit-Abgang.
Ein süßer Muskatellerduft, gelbe Früchte und reife Pfirsiche. Außerdem Aromen von Melone und ein Hauch von Muskat. Sehr gelungener Wein!
