Wine from Riebeek Kasteel
Filter
Riebeek Kasteel is not like most of the other wine regions in South Africa as it harvests wine and table grapes. Some of the most popular wines in the world are produced in the South African wine region of Riebeek Kasteel. The village is one of the oldest in the area, and is in the heart of the region. Kasteel is one of the oldest villages in the area and is located in the heart of Riebeek Valley on Kasteelberg Mountain.
If you were to drive around the area, you could mistake Riebeek as a village in Tuscany. Riebeek Kasteel is famous for olives, and of course, Shiraz wine. The vineyards stretch alongside the foothills of Kasteelberg.
The South African wine industry began in 1652 when Jan Van Riebeeck, a Dutch surgeon, was asked to manage the supply station in modern day Cape Town. In order to control scurvy, Riebeeck planted vineyards and started to produce wine and grapes. The first harvest happened seven years after landing in 1659.
The soil consists of Malmesbury shale towards the bottom, with loamy soil on the higher grounds while being interspersed with rich Hutton soils. The climate is perfectly suited to viticulture with low rainfall and warm summer days with cool breezes at night. The cold winters allow the grape vines to rest while they build up their reserves.

The Prisoner Wine Company Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
From the most recognized Napa Valley red blend comes a bold, new wine. Made in the same iconic style as The Prisoner Red Blend, we proudly introduce The Prisoner Pinot Noir. Redefining taste once again.
A mix of Russian River and Carneros AVAs produces this classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with notes of ripe cranberry, pomegranate, and cherry with clove spice. The palate is driven by rhubarb and cherry with an underlying minerality and spice, which culminates with soft tannins and an elegant, balanced acidity.
Chef Brett recommends pairing The Prisoner Pinot Noir with Mushroom Risotto or Grilled Salmon.
Fefinanes Albarino de Albarino is 100 percent Albarino
Fresh fruit aromas of apricot and peach slices with notes of lemon and green apple. Pretty notes of honey and wet nutmeg, and the mouth is round, clean, and pleasant with baked apple, honey, and lemon.
This is a classic Albariño which is good young, but actually improves over two to three years and remains quite drinkable for up to five years. Owner Juan Gil comments that the wine really starts to come into its own in June/July, and he actually prefers it 18 or more months after it's made. A Fefiñanes "vertical" of three or four vintages can provide some most interesting surprises.
