STORY: In 2005, the brothers Dr. Tertius Boshoff and Kobie van der Westhuizen founded the Cape Winery Stellenrust in 1928 with the aim of making it a model company in every respect. The quality standards of the wines produced here have always been high. Not one iota deviated from this. What was new, however, was that the workers were given a special reward for their years of hard work.
-
AGEING: Cuvée from the Helderberg and the Bottelary. Read at 105° Oechsle. Cold maceration for about 48 hours. 8 days maceration. BSA partly in barrique. Expansion also in barrique.
-
AROMA: Spicy and fruity bouquet of mulberry, blackberry and plum, interspersed with caramel and wood smoke.
-
EVALUATION: Full-bodied on the palate; fine tannins ensure length and aftertaste. Drinking pleasure with a light oriental spice and refreshing fruitiness.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION: All spicy dishes; Tex-Mex cuisine, Thai curries, Indian dishes and of course bobotie and braai.
In 2005, the brothers Dr. Tertius Boshoff and Kobie van der Westhuizen founded the Cape Winery Stellenrust in 1928 with the aim of making it a model company in every respect. The quality standards of the wines produced here have always been high. Not one iota deviated from this. What was new, however, was that the workers were given a special reward for their years of hard work. Because most of them grew up on the property and still live there. So the 70 working-class families were the majority shareholders in 100 hectares of farmland, which they were allowed to cultivate, harvest and develop as their own plot. This is how one of the best and most successful "black empowerment projects" on the whole continent was initiated. The winery works with the greatest care when it comes to sustainability. This means: minimalist use of fertilizers, grape varieties that are adapted to the specific environment and vine training designed for optimal circulation. But that's not all: in addition to natural winemaking, the disposal of waste is also controlled and only recycled packaging material is used.
