Winery Gabriëlskloof
The Winery Gabriëlskloof is located in the municipality of Bot River, a part of the Walker Bay region. Their viticulture philosophy consists of minimal intervention, where measures are only taken when necessary. Gabriëlskloof believes that this is the only way to highlight and reflect the terroir of the vineyards they work with.
Tasting notes
The Landscape Series Syrah on Sandstone 2015 from the Winery Gabriëlskloof flows into glass with a strong red color. In the nose there are intense blackberries with aromatic notes of black and white pepper. Soft, velvety notes combine on the palate Tannin with a supple Roman olives.
The Landscape Series consists of five wines that make the best of Gabriëlskloof Vineyards and winemaking, and is a candid representation of the elements that make them unique. Gabriëlskloof wanted the labels to reflect this approach, and commissioned Niel Jonker - known for his locally painted landscape panels - the spirit of Overberg landscapes capture the winery.
The vineyard of this wine is mountainous and consists of broken Sandsteinfelsen, making it incredibly difficult for vineyards to be cultivated. This unforgiving environment restricts the transmission of Sediment heavily involved in the aroma and yield of grapes, resulting in a complex, extraordinary wine leads.
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.
