Wine from Stellenbosch
Filter
Located in South Africa, Stellenbosch is a very important district. Just 30 miles east of Capetown, Stellenbosch is the second oldest settlement in the country. The wine producing wards are Simonsberg-Stellenbosch, Jonkershoek Valley, Bottelary, Banghoek, Dvon Valley, Papegaaiberg, and Polkadraai Hills.
Stellenbosch was nicknamed, “The City of Oaks,” because of the oak trees that were planted by Simon van der Stel who founded Stellenbosch and was the mayor of Cape Town. The well-drained terrain is hilly with the majority of vineyards located at 330 Feet above sea level. The Cape Fold Mountain range shelters the valleys. The first wine vineyards were planted by German settlers, known as Huguenot, in 1690.
The climate in Stellenbosch is Mediterranean and perfect for viticulture. The winters are rainy, cool, and occasionally windy with daytime temperatures averaging about 61°. Occasionally snow flurries occur two or three times a year. Autumn and spring are considered shoulder seasons with average temperatures at the 68° mark. Summers are generally dry and hot.
The variety of soils in Stellenbosch range from decomposed granite on the hillsides, dark, alluvial soils that drain well in the valley. The combination results in high-quality red wines. Notable reds in the region include Shiraz, Pintoage, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Prominent white wines include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc.

Raats MR Mvemve Raats de Compostella is made from 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 12% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot
The name de Compostella (meaning “field of stars” or “compilation of stars”) was chosen to reflect the fact that each component is crafted to stand alone as a world class varietal wine. The wine exhibits a deep, dark ruby color. Blackcurrant and black cherry fruit with hints of violets, cedar and cinnamon are revealed on the nose. The palate is rich and complex with mineral, blackberry fruit and dark chocolate on the finish. The five Bordeaux varietals harmoniously convene in this consistent, linear flavor profile that is polished with a well-defined finish.
Review:
he 2020 De Compostella is composed of 30% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 16% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Beginning with a focused, juicy and complex nose of dark red fruits, the wine has impeccable balance between oak, fruit and earthy floral tones. Full-bodied and with succulent acidity, the palette offers a firm frame of fine-grained tannins, while the fruit profile makes way for elegant earth and notes of crème de cassis sway with subtle flavors of sage and spiced plum. The red blend continues to somersault and reveal its complexities over the long-lingering and ever-evolving finish. Be patient with this exceptional wine

Turley Pesenti Zinfandel is made from 100 percent Zinfandel.
Deeply perfumed and enthralling nose of ripe red fruits, high-toned spices, orange zest, and an almost minty crushed chalk. Palate is smooth, lush, energetic, and pure, with a smack of well-toned acidity, satiating structure, and a long, precise finish.
Reviews:
Medium ruby in the glass, the 2022 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is refined and pure on the nose, leading with varietally classic aromas of yellow peach, wild red berry jam, touches of woodsmoke and tomato leaves and a mix of earth-driven, evergreen aromas. The palate clearly shows its warm-climate origins with its rich, concentrated, explosively perfumed red fruit flavors. It admirably retains precision despite this massive frame and is lined with fine-grained, generous tannins. The finish is led by peachy, fruit-driven perfume with just enough tangy acidity to prop up the long, juicy finish that calls you back to the glass.

Alain de la Treille Sauvignon Blanc is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc.
This Sauvignon Blanc has a slight amber color with a fresh aromatic nose. Grassy and mineral flavored with a refreshingly crisp mouthfeel. Vines are located outside the Loire Valley AOC boundaries, hence the Vin de France classification.
Best friend as an aperitif, with all your fish meals and seafood, but as well with charcuteries, Don't hesitate to try it with goat cheese.
