Aaldering Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch

This Sauvignon Blanc from the Stellenbosch region has a wonderfully stimulating bouquet hinting of gooseberry, passion fruit and pineapple, along with nuances of kiwi and lime. It is full-bodied on the palate, with a crisp acidity, elegant mineral notes and an exceptional length. The Aaldering Sauvignon Blanc is another example of why the winery has become an icon of South African viticulture in such a short time.

The meticulous work in the vineyard and in the winery, the particular attention paid to the interaction with nature and the high standards set for the wines by Marianne and Fons Aaldering have won the estate, which was established in 2004, numerous international prizes. You’ll enjoy discovering the Aaldering Sauvignon Blanc from the Stellenbosch region with oysters, sushi, sashimi, fish fried in olive oil, fresh garden salads or goat’s cheese.

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.

Balanced on the palate, light and invigorating.Enjoy the Thelema Sauvignon Blanc as aperitif or with salads, oysters, scallops or chicken.

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.
