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.
-
AGING: from bush vines over 38 years old located in the Bottelary Hills. It is harvested in three passes, depending on the ripeness of the grapes: the first part at 74° (greener, fresher notes), the other two at 82° or 92° Oechsle (more tropical aromas). Separate expansion, subsequent blending.
-
AROMA: On the nose it shines with crisp green aromas, some elderflower; but also tropical notes can be found: pineapple and guava.
-
RATING: Balanced by a decent acidity, it appears very fresh and piquant on the palate.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Seafood salad, asparagus with basil sauce, goat cheese tartlets
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.
