Windmeul Pinotage

This Pinotage from the Coastal region in South Africa is a fine taste experience. It has a multi-faceted bouquet hinting of plums, berries and bananas, complemented by aromas of coffee and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, medium-bodied, velvety and fruity. This pure varietal Pinotage comes from vines between 14 and 18 years old. The red wine from the venerable Windmeul cooperative was aged for 12 months in second- and third-fill French oak casks. The Windmeul Pinotage is an ideal accompaniment to game, marinated lamb and cheddar or blue cheese with figs.

Windmeul Kelder

Das Weingut Windmeul Kelder liegt malerisch an den Hängen des Paarl-Berges in Südafrika. Das Gebiet ist etwa eine Stunde Fahrtzeit nördlich von Kapstadt entfernt und gehört zu den bekanntesten Weinanbaugebieten des Landes. Windmeul Kelder ist nach einer Windmühle benannt, die früher eine der schönsten und produktivsten der Region war. Die Mühle war auch deshalb weit berühmt, weil sie die einzige in der Gegend mit Segel war.

Nach der Zerstörung der Mühle gründeten 1944 ein paar Winzer auf dem Gelände eine Genossenschaft. Heute, mehr als 80 Jahre später, zählt Windmeul Kelder zu den größten und besten Weingütern in Südafrika. Mehr als 14.500 Tonnen Trauben pro Saison werden von einer Fläche von 1.700 Hektar verarbeitet. Geleitet wird die Weinproduktion von Winemaker Francois van Niekerk.

Das Repertoire bei Windmeul Kelder ist durch eine Vielzahl von Rebsorten geprägt. Am meisten wird Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, Shiraz, Chardonnay und Chenin Blanc angebaut. Der Pinotage Reserve schaffte es in den letzten Jahren zweimal unter die Top 10 bei Südafrikas ABSA Pinotage Awards. Auch der Sauvignon Blanc 2014 war sehr erfolgreich. Beim Michelangelo International Wine Award in Südafrika erhielt er zweimal Gold.

Im Jahr 2023 wurde die neue Linie Sandfluistraar auf den Markt gebracht.

Spier Signature Pinotage
By planting the pinotage grapes in rows in a north-easterly direction the grapes are not in the bright afternoon sun. This prevents them to develop a roasted and spicy aroma. And it helps even more that the sea is near, only 8 kilometer away. By low proceeds of 50 hectoliters per hectare the grapes get lots of intensity and the wine has enough strength and depth to let a part of it mature in wooden barrels. Fermentation at no more than 25 ° C ensures plenty of fruit. 40% of the wine matured in French oak barrels or American origin, making this a pleasant vanilla tasty Pinotage without sacrificing the fruit.
