Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc

The Chenin Blanc from the Coastal region has a wonderfully stimulating bouquet offering notes of peach and pears. It is powerful on the palate, with a lovely minerality, a vivid acidity and a great balance and length.

The grapes come from bush vines that are cultivated without wire trellis training systems. Overall, the Kleine Zalze Cellar Chenin Blanc reflects a very natural depth of aroma.

Enjoy this dry white wine with asparagus, fish and poultry dishes and Asian cuisine as well. This is a very drinkable white wine that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of elegance.

Das südafrikanische Weingut Kleine Zalze, mit deutschen Wurzeln, besteht seit 300 Jahren. Es war immer in Familienbesitz und die hervorragenden Weine des Weinguts lassen auf die fleißige und innovative Entwicklung schließen, die das Weingut Kleine Zalze zu dem gemacht hat, was es heute darstellt. Ein Aushängeschild für südafrikanische Weine, in aller Welt beliebt und begehrt.

Kobus Basson, der heutige Chef des modernen Weinguts, hat seine Philosophie so erklärt: „Eine Kombination der Fruchtaromen und die Intensität der ‚Neuen Welt‘ mit der Eleganz und Struktur der ‚Alten Welt‘ sind der Erfolg für Weine mit Charakter, Komplexität und Balance“. Nach diesem Motto produzierte Weine präsentiert er auf internationalen Wettbewerben, bei denen er immer wieder Goldmedaillen für seine akribisch vinifizierten Weine mit nach Hause nimmt.

Die Strategie im Weinberg ist einfach. Der Erfolg des Winzers beginnt im Weinberg, dort wird das Fundament für große Weine errichtet. Bassons sorgfältige Gutsverwaltung sorgt für umfangreiche, natürliche Ressourcen. Seine innovative, zeitgerechte Arbeit im Weinberg, angefangen bei der Auslaubung und Ertragsreduzierung, über selektive Anpflanzung, Bodenverbesserung, dem Terroir und der Sorte entsprechend, sowie der sorgsame Umgang mit dem Lesegut, bis hin zur Weiterverarbeitung, sichert den Erfolg der Kleinen Zalze.

Seine Weißweine, Rotweine und Cuvées sind legendär. Ob Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Viognier oder Gamay, die Weine für sich oder als herrliche Cuvée kombiniert, sind einzigartig.

Product recommendation

Simonsig Chenin Blanc
The Simonsig Chenin Blanc has a bright straw colour. On the nose, wonderfully refreshing aromas of passion fruit, watermelon and guava. The palate offers an invigorating acidity that accentuates the fruitiness of this white wine. Mainly aromas of kiwi and tropical fruit dominate this wine from the Stellenbosch region. Enjoy the fruity, dry Simonsig Chenin Blanc with seafood or chicken. Simonsig Wine Estate is proud of the high-quality vintage. The quality of the Chenin Blanc was outstanding with ripe luscious fruit and good acidities.

Spier Signature Chenin Blanc
This chenin blanc is made from young vines of five years old, which are perfect for a delicious and refreshing dry wine, with lots of fruit. Only when the stakes get older, the wines get more concentration. By keeping the proceeds low, the wine gets a really nice solid and mineral character. Like the other wines in this series he gets after a fermentation process at low temperature aged for a few months on the yeast cells, which makes it nicely rich and firm of character. A delicious, smooth and crisp Chenin Blanc is the result.
