This was one of our discoveries during our wine tasting tour in Franschoek. Not only did they do a lovely cellar tour and explained their wine making fantastically, they are also one of the very few vineyards that produce Pinot Noir wines. Usually South Africa is too hot for this grape and doesn’t have clay soil which is key for a great Pinot Noir. On their piece of land in the Franschoek valley they disvovered great clay soil though.
They also have a big focus on champagne wines and their Belle Rose turned out to be one of my favourites from all the wines we tasted in South Africa. In addition they also do a very nice Chardonney Pinot Noir and an Unwooded Pinot Noir, which are both served cold and taste fabulous on a hot summer day. Check out their website here. Most of their wines are also available in Germany, for double the price of course ;).
