Winery
At the southern tip of Africa, close to the shore edge, the migration of the Southern Right whale is a keenly observed phenomenon. Their passage to the waters of the Western Cape to calve and nurse their young is long established and, much like the harvest, is one of nature’s indicators of the passing of the season. It’s hard not to be affected by the majesty of this spectacle, but at Hout bay they work on as best they can, so that they may, in time, raise a glass to wish them on their way.
Viticulture
Various, sandy, chalk-loam to gravel, granite
Tasting Note
An extremely smooth, elegant wine with luscious red and black berry aromas and flavours, enhanced with warm spicy notes and soft tannins. It is full-bodied and harmonious, fresh and juicy
Food Recommendations
Excellent matched with a wide variety of dishes such as beef, lamb, liver, kidneys or game as well as duckling. It will stand up to hearty and spicy ethnic dishes with layers of different flavours. Also, good with strong hard cheeses such as cheddar or gruyere.
