De Wetshof
The name De Wetshof has been synonymous with the production of fine wines in South Africa since the 1970’s. As the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley De Wetshof has become known internationally as South Africa’s eminent Chardonnay House due to the pioneering role it played in introducing this noble Burgundian grape to the country. The De Wet family’s winemaking heritage can however be traced back to 1694 when the first De Wets arrived at the Cape and immediately made a mark on the South African wine industry. Today De Wetshof is one of the few third generation wine estates in South Africa. Here Danie de Wet proprietor and cellarmaster is assisted by sons Johann (viticulture and marketing) and Peter (winemaker).
Description
Beautiful rich complexities of fresh, full-ripe crispy berries and cherries are complemented by pronounced velvety-nutty flavours on the mid-palate leading to smooth tannins on the finish. Maturation in the finest French oak assists in unleashing the typical Pinot Noir fruit flavours whilst maintaining all the characteristics of an elegant wine.
Food Pairing
Slightly chilled, this Pinot Noir is delicious with lobster, crayfish and rich seafood dishes including fish soups. It is also the perfect accompaniment to grilled meat dishes such as beef steak, cheese soufflés and dishes containing truffles or truffle oil.
