The Aaldering Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot has an initially intense bouquet offering notes of ripe blackberries and cassis. The wonderfully fruity bouquet is harmoniously complemented and rounded off by fine nuances of eucalyptus, cedar and cigar box. This blend, consisting mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% of Merlot, is elegant and powerful on the palate, with velvety, well-structured tannins.

This is a high-quality wine from the Devon Valley in the Stellenbosch region. The grape varieties were aged separately and matured for 25 months in French barriques, of which 35% were new barrels. This blend has a good ageing potential of 10 to 15 years.

You’ll enjoy discovering the Aaldering Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot with lamb, grilled vegetables and spicy dishes with green pepper or Mediterranean herbs. Since 2004, Marianne and Fons Aaldering, the owners of the winery, have been writing a remarkable success story, meticulously establishing a winery that has won numerous international awards. The Aaldering estate pursues the aim of strengthening the biodiversity in the region, hence the numerous different plants growing among the vines. In this respect, too, the Aaldering estate sets standards in South African viticulture.

Aaldering Vineyards & Wines

Im Jahre 2004 entschied sich der Geschäftsmann Fons Aaldering (67) zu einer „zweiten Karriere“ und kaufte zusammen mit seiner Frau Marianne ein 24 ha großes Weingut im Devon Valley, im Weinbaugebiet um die Stadt Stellenbosch in Südafrika. Aalderings erklärtes Ziel war es, in kürzester Zeit einer der Top-Weinproduzenten Südafrikas zu werden. So entstand Aaldering Vineyards & Wines.

Mit dem neuen Management kamen große Veränderungen auf das Weingut zu. Der Rebbestand wurde komplett neu gepflanzt, Bewässerungssysteme optimiert und 2012 wurde eine neue, moderne Kellerei in Betrieb genommen.

Im Jahr 2007 kamen die ersten Aaldering-Weine auf den Markt. Inzwischen werden sie weltweit in 26 Länder exportiert und bei mehreren Fluggesellschaften in der First- bzw. Business-Class serviert. Eine besondere Auszeichnung für das kleine, südafrikanische Weingut mit niederländischen Wurzeln. Darüber hinaus sind Aaldering-Weine vielfach preisgekrönt und wurden von Robert Parker mit über 90 Punkten sowie mit 4 Sternen von John Platter ausgezeichnet.

Aaldering stellt seinen Wein ausschließlich aus Trauben des eigenen Weinguts her. Als Rebsorten wählte man neben der Pinotage, dem Wein Südafrikas, verschiedene ursprünglich französische Sorten, wie Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet und Merlot.

Winemaker und General Manager Dustin Osborne hat die Jahresproduktion auf 120.000 Flaschen angesetzt. Das „Flaggschiff“ des Weinguts ist der Pinotage, der in unterschiedlichen Versionen ausgebaut wird, darunter ist ein Pinotage blanc. Bei den „Florence“ Weinen, benannt nach der Enkeltochter der Aalderings, handelt es sich um jugendliche Cuvées für jeden Anlass.

In den Aaldering-Weingärten setzt man neueste Erkenntnisse über nachhaltigen Weinbau um. So wird zum Beispiel bei der Bewirtschaftung viel Wert auf den Erhalt der Biodiversität gelegt. Zwischen den Reben darf eine Vielzahl von Pflanzen wachsen. Mittlerweile wurde Aaldering Vineyards & Wines sogar von Enviro Wines (einer ökologischen Zertifizierungsorganisation) bescheinigt, zur recht kleinen Gruppe der optimal produzierenden Weinbaubetriebe in Südafrika zu gehören.

Aaldering Shiraz Stellenbosch

The Aaldering Shiraz is a wine full of elegance and complexity. It is redolent of dark cherries, raspberries, cloves and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, showing a clear structure and a long finish. This Shiraz from the Devon Valley in the Stellenbosch region was aged for more than 20 months in French oak casks, of which only 15% were new barrels, giving the Shiraz grapes as much scope as possible to develop their great elegance. The rest of the barrels were second- and third-fill oak casks.This is a wonderful Shiraz with predominantly dark and spicy notes. Another six to eight years of ageing will further enhance its qualities. Enjoy this red wine from South Africa with pies, lamb and dishes with red pepper, coriander or rosemary.
