Wine from Paarl Valley
Filter
The Paarl Valley is a South African wine-producing region that is known for its viticulture, lush landscapes, and beautiful orchards. The wine region is surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges and has a lovely warm climate and nice cool breezes in the autumn. The town of Paarl is one of the oldest European towns of South Africa, but its name is pronounced differently by the Africans. This region is home to many wineries and is a popular destination for wine-tasting and touring. The Paarl Valley mostly features white wine grapes, but the location is prime for reds as well. Since the luxurious climate of the region is typically warmer compared with regions such as Stellenbosch, red wine grape varieties tend to grow quite well there. These varieties tend to grow well typically in high elevation. The wine region is known for varieties of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Chenin Blanc , Chardonnay and Semillon varieties that grow in the region.
The city of Paarl is known for Nelson Mandela’s exit from the now Drakenstein Correctional Center after almost 30 years in prison. The region is also known for the beautiful Pearl Mountain or Paaral Rock, which is a large rock that has been compared to the many wonders around the world.

Gaja Sperss is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo.
Vibrant and intense notes of herbs and spices such as thyme, cloves and black pepper. On the palate the wine is tense, loaded with energy that will need serious ageing to fully develop although extremely approachable in its youth. Impressive fruit concentration, with dark and ripe fruits – prunes and black cherries. Acidity and tannins lift this wine to its freshest expression.
Nebbiolo based wines have not only complexity and structure but also great elegance and finesse. The distinctive silky tannins of the Nebbiolo make it the right wine to drink with meat. Usually a young vintage goes very well with richer dishes because of the stronger tannins; mature Barolos are more suitable with delicate white meat courses or braised meat courses with sauces or concentrated red wines reductions.
Review:
The 2019 Barolo Sperss is rich with dark mineral earth, black cherry, and Earl Grey tea. Long and mouthwatering, it has a powerful structure while retaining finesse. It is fantastically balanced, with gripping tannins, fresh acidity, and notes of forested earth and ripe red berries. A wine for the long haul, this is another great and noble wine to drink over the coming three decades.
