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.

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.
