Lanzerac Cabernet Sauvignon

The Lanzerac Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic South African Cabernet. With this wine, you get what you expect - reliability. The grapes come from vines that are between 11 and 22 years old. This is a good blend to reflect all aspects of the Cabernet in an excellent wine. With this Cabernet Sauvignon, the proverbial meticulousness of the Lanzerac estate ensures excellent quality at this price.

In other words, this wine is good value for money! On the nose, it offers typical notes of currants and dark cherries. The Lanzerac Cabernet Sauvignon is soft and supple on the palate, with a refreshing acidity, showing aromas of dark chocolate, dried tomatoes and olive pâté.

The restrained tannins allow the concentrated fruit to fully develop. Enjoy the Lanzerac Cabernet Sauvignon with succulent steaks or tangy cheeses such as ripe Gruyère or Cheddar.

Lanzerac Wine Estate

Das Weingut Lanzerac Wine Estate ist als Perle unter den südafrikanischen Weingütern bekannt. Im schönen Jonkershoek Tal, am Standrand von Stellenbosch gelegen, blickt das Weingut auf eine lange Historie zurück. Bereits im Jahre 1692 wurde die Farm von Isaac Schrijver gegründet und zunächst unter dem Namen Schoongezicht, was wundervolle Aussicht bedeutet, geführt. Damit ist Lanzerac Wine Estate das drittälteste Weingut in Stellenbosch. Der erste Keller wurde um 1800 erbaut, gefolgt im Jahre 1830 von einem Herrenhaus im typischen kapholländischem Stil.

Im Jahr 1920 kam es dann zu einer großen Veränderung. Das Anwesen wurde von Elizabeth Catherina „Kitty“ English gekauft und in Lanzerac umbenannt. Mrs. English erfüllte sich damit einen Lebenstraum und investierte in den folgenden Jahren sehr viel Geld in das Weingut. Dies legte den Grundstein für eines der modernsten Weingüter am Kap. In der Folge kam es zu mehreren Besitzerwechseln. Alle neuen Eigentümer investierten glücklicherweise weiter in das Weingut. Sodass heute nicht nur Wein auf hohem Standard produziert wird, sondern auch ein 5-Sterne Hotel mit Restaurant und Spa-Bereich entstand.

Sollten Sie also einmal in Südafrika weilen, ist der Besuch von Lanzerac Wine Estate auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert.

Lanzerac Pinotage
The grapes for the Lanzerac Pinotage come from vineyards that are located between 400 and 420 metres above sea level. The prevailing wind cools the grapes in hot summers. The soils consist mainly of decomposed granite, enhancing the vines’ deep growth and improving water retention in the soil. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping over, the Lanzerac Pinotage matured for 15 months in first-, second- and third-fill oak casks.At this point, the optimal integration between fruit and wood was completed, resulting in a wine of excellent colour with fragrances of ripe berries and plums. On the palate, the Lanzerac Pinotage is velvety, dense, full-bodied and complex, showing a lovely balance. Aromas of high-quality chocolate and notes of caramel enhance the taste experience along with wonderfully integrated tannins.Enjoy the Lanzerac Pinotage with venison medallions in plum sauce or Asian curry dishes.

Lanzerac Merlot
The grapes for Lanzerac Merlot come from vineyards located in the Jonkershoek Valley near Stellenbosch. These vineyards are divided into four different parcels of land with vines that are between 9 and 17 years old, covering an area of 20.31 acres. This terroir consists of deep red, decomposed granite soils and is located between 125 and 400 metres above sea level. After arrival in the cellar, the grapes were selected by hand and destemmed. Before they were gently pressed, the loose grapes underwent a second selection by hand. Subsequently, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with pumping over twice a day, allowing an optimal extraction of colour and aromas. The Merlot matured for 12 months in second- and third-fill French oak casks. The optimal point of the ripening process was reached by regular racking. This appetizing Lanzerac Merlot has a lot to offer and leaves nothing to be desired. On the nose, it offers concentrated aromas of black fruit, along with sweet notes of vanilla and spicy aromas. The tannins give the wine more complexity, gently underpinning aromas of plums, black cherries, cooked strawberry purée and dark chocolate, finely rounded off by a long, integrated finish. The Lanzerac Merlot goes beautifully with veal chops and portabello mushrooms, gnocchi in a red pepper sauce with crispy pancetta or with a creamy gruyere and parmesan cheese risotto.

Lanzerac Sauvignon Blanc
The Lanzerac Sauvignon Blanc consists of grapes that come from two different vineyards. One of the vineyards is already 19 years old and located 450 metres above sea level. The grapes from these vines give the wine its complexity. The vines that grow in the second vineyard are only 4 years old, giving the wine its freshness. In order to protect the grapes from heat stress, the harvest was carried out early in the morning. After repeated selection in the cellar, the grapes were pressed at a temperature of approximately 57.2 °F. The must remained in contact with the skin for about 6 hours. Subsequently, the wine was fermented at a temperature of 53.6 to 57.2 °F for a period of 10 days. On the nose, the Lanzerac Sauvignon Blanc offers various aromas such as notes of green apple, Asian fruit, pears, white peach and lemon grass. It is soft and creamy on the palate, showing an intense minerality and a surprisingly long finish.Thanks to its vivid acidity, the Lanzerac Sauvignon Blanc goes beautifully with goat’s cheese and seafood salads.

Lanzerac Chardonnay
The grapes for the Lanzerac Chardonnay come from the estate’s various vineyards, of which the oldest are more than 20 years old. The blending of the grapes from the different vineyards has a positive impact on the wines’ complexity. The yield is less than 5 tons per hectare (1 hectare = approx. 2.47 acres). In order to only pick healthy and fully ripe grapes, the harvest was carried out by hand. Subsequently, the grapes were again selected by hand in the cellar. After cutting, the grapes were cooled down to 59 °F and pressed.The wine was fermented in barrels, of which 70% were 300-litre oak casks and 30% were stainless steel tanks. After 9 months, the two batches were blended. The Lanzerac Chardonnay is full-bodied and distinctive, offering aromas of citrus, ginger, vanilla and clover on the nose. On the palate, it shows a noticeable balance between fruit, acidity and softness. The finish is creamy and long-lasting. Thanks to its wonderful complexity, the Lanzerac Chardonnay goes beautifully with smoked salmon, sea bass or paella with seafood.
