Stark-condé Wines
Stark-Condé Wines is located in the picturesque Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch. It is a dramatic valley with steep changes in vineyard elevation from 150 to 600 metres making for a range of sites with distinct characteristics. At Stark-Condé they stick to traditional winemaking methods: open tank fermentation meticulous sorting of grapes hand-punchdowns basket pressing and maturation in small French oak barrels.
Description
An intriguing bouquet of guava and quince, framed by subtle vanilla notes. The palate is complex and finely textured with a mix of stone and citrus fruit and creamy, spicy flavours. The fi nish is long with a persistent minerality. This is an age-worthy Chenin from a cool, high-altitude site.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, pork belly and creamy pasta dishes. The wine's texture and minerality also complement shellfish, Mediterranean cuisine and soft-ripened cheeses.
