Description
Food pairings: Excellent with tender beef, stir-fries, pasta and game dishes, as well as various mild cheeses. We recommend drinking the wine at a temperature of between 16-18 °C.
The vinification: The wine-growing region of South Africa enjoys an ideal climate for viticulture. The Western Cape in particular, located at the south-western tip of the country, benefits from a prevailing Mediterranean climate, which is fostered by the cooling Benguela Current. This ensures a pleasant warmth even during the long summer months and despite the warm and sunny weather. This balanced climate creates optimal conditions for wine cultivation.
The wine tradition in the Western Cape dates back over 300 years. The lime- and sandstone soils around Cape Town provide the ideal ground for velvety, soft, and complex red wines, mainly Cabernet, Syrah, and Merlot. In the higher-altitude regions, white grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc often develop enchanting aromas of exotic fruits. The wines of »The Fishwives Club« are crafted through careful selection of the best grapes, winemakers, and terroirs from the world-famous Cape Wine Region, resulting in exceptional wines. Experienced winemakers hand-harvest the grapes to ensure the highest quality.
