Tasting notes
The Sic Transit Gloria Mundi Syrah from Winery Noble Hill is a complex and characterful red wine that impresses with its unique variety of aromas.
"In the nose, aromas of dark berries unfold, including black currant and a hint of tobacco. The fruity notes are complemented by a subtle spicy component."
On the palate, the wine shows a beautiful structure and multi-layered texture, supported by rich fruit and a harmonious spice. The finish is elegant and long-lasting.
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.
