Winery Old Road Wine
The Winery Old Road Wine Company was opened in December 2018 and has enjoyed high recognition among wine lovers in South Africa from day one. The Winery, which is located between the railway line and the old main road, offers its visitors a 180-degree view of the massive Franschhoek mountain range. On the so-called "Old Road" everything began. The road not only tells the story of a Winery and its vineyards, but also of an extraordinary town, Franschhoek, and the historical figures who shaped it. The Winery Old Road Wine Company is especially known for its noble white wines and its full-bodied red wines.
Tasting notes
The The Spotted Hound Red Blend from the Winery Old Road Wine Co. is characterized by its particularly intense fruit aromas. These are supported by gentle aromas of cardamom and nuances of salt and pepper.
The The Spotted Hound Red Blend 2019 from Old Road Wine Co. tells the story of a clever dog who always helped himself to the finest pieces whenever the butcher turned around.
This excellent cuvée is a combination of the best qualities of each grape variety. The grapes were handpicked from selected vineyards at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, the individual grape varieties spent 8 months in the finest oak barrels of the 2nd and 3rd filling.
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.
