Wine from Hermon
Filter
Hermon is a small wine region located in South Africa and is 4,101 feet above sea level. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Hermon, the region still has most of the natural vegetation intact with a boutique wine industry that is gaining an excellent reputation.
Hermon is a tiny village and is one of four towns in the Riebeek Valley. Near Riebeeck Kasteel, Hermon is a popular destination for tourism with its olive groves and vineyards.
When apartheid ended in February of 1990, South Africa has been welcomed back on the world stage and is a major wine producer. The Western Cape plays host to 18 wine routes with some of them being the most beautiful on the planet.
Wine production goes back hundreds of years and was brought to the area by the French who left their homeland in droves during the mid 1600’s. Jan van Riebeeck planted the first vineyard in South Africa shortly afterward.
The semi-arid climate is classified as mid-latitude dry and enjoys a subtropical biozone. The soil has a loamy sand texture and is high in arenosols. Wines produced in the South Cape are bio-diverse thanks to the microclimates that are created by the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Russian River Valley is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Crafted with precision from six pedigreed sites comes a wine that beams with pale straw hue. The newest vintage brings wonderful aromatic intensity: candied lemon peel, white florals followed by crisp green apple. A creamy and viscous texture on the palate is buoyed by white nectarine and dried apricot that’s balanced with a vibrant acidity, bringing focus to the wine’s finish that lingers with hints of flinty mineral notes.
Review:
Layered and well-concentrated, this impressive wine stacks up cream, butter, toasted almonds and poached pears for a lavish palate that's also nicely grounded in appley acidity. It will be eye-opening during cocktail hour and even better paired with fish and shellfish.

On the palate, it reveals a fresh attack followed by an ample, structured, long-lasting finish. The wine unfurls in successive stages and ends with top-quality tannins produced by whole cluster fermentation. It features aromas and flavors of smoked ham, violet, graphite, graphite, and licorice.
Review:
A refined, fine-textured and precise Cote-Rotie with aromas of cherries, wild berries, wild herbs, bark and baking spices. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. There is a vibrant and spicy character at the center, with a succulent, precise and lively expression toward the long finish. Try after 2026.
