Winery Saxenburg
Saxenburg Wine Estate
is located in the Polkadraai Hills in Stellenbosch and is one of the most traditional wineries in South Africa.
Founded in the late 17th century, it today combines historic architecture with state-of-the-art cellar technology.
Under the leadership of the Bührer family, elegant wines are produced here that perfectly reflect the terroir and the natural freshness
of the region. Especially the Cabernet Sauvignon has made the winery internationally known –
powerful, structured, and yet finely balanced. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings at the winery
and experience excellent cuisine in the Cattle Baron Grill Room amidst the vineyards.
Tasting notes
On the nose, the Saxenburg Private Collection Syrah 2021 shows seductive aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plums, and pepper, accompanied by violet, cedarwood, and a hint of smoked meat. On the palate, it presents itself elegant and balanced, with fine-grained tannins and a spicy depth reminiscent of black pepper and dark berry jam. The long, harmonious finish is carried by a subtle roasted aroma and mineral freshness.
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.
