Chenin Blanc Bush Vines

wine food advice

Chenin Blanc 'Bush Vines'. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc , according to traditional white wine preparation. The wine matures after fermentation for another 3 months on the lees.

Story behind the label: Wine estate 'Babylon's Peak' is named after the high granite peak on the Estate, better known to the locals as ' The Babylonstoren '. The label also states ' Bush Vine '; this tells you something about the way of 'training' the vineyards. The Bush Vine Method is a way of pruning the vines; often in the shape of a kind of umbrella. Due to dry and hot conditions in South Africa, 'bush vine' pruning is used to protect the grapes from too much sun. The grapes are covered by the leaves, which means that moisture is retained in the grape for longer and the grape ripens moderately. The stony soil ensures that the sun reflects on the grapes.
White wine - Ripe, round and spicy. Salty, mineral wine thanks to the granite soil. The attack is fresh and slender with a lot of concentration and intensity. The structure of the wine is rich with an exuberant character. The aftertaste is exciting with a lot of crisp fruit. A fresh, lively summer wine.

Negroamaro Salento Rosso. Very elegant red wine from Puglia. Made according to traditional red wine production (picking, pressing, alcoholic fermentation, maturation) with 6 months of wood maturation in oak barriques. The wine is made from 100% Negroamaro . Negroamaro literally means ' black-bitter ' and that sums up this grape succinctly. The Negroamaro grows mainly in the Italian wine region of Puglia and produces sturdy, deep red wines. The Negroamaro has traditionally been one of the most planted grapes in Italy, but the number of vines has almost halved in the past twenty years. 100% Negroamaros are therefore harder to find and more unique than they used to be.

Story behind the label : 'Del Salento' literally means from Salento , the area/region of Salento; the Salentine peninsula forms the heel of the boot (Puglia).
Red wine - Ripe, spicy and intense. Elegant dark red full wine with intense aroma of ripe plums and cherry jam. Slightly spicy with hints of vanilla and cocoa in the finish. Beautiful structure with ripe, full tannins.
Our sommeliers recommend:
Good with slow cooked meats and stews with spicy notes, spicy BBQ dishes and roast poultry, such as partridge, with a strong (port) sauce. Also good to combine with baked or grilled lamb back, hare, saddle, leg and Iberian pork with strong sauces and strong, hard cheeses with compote.
