Wine from Stellenbosch
Filter
Located in South Africa, Stellenbosch is a very important district. Just 30 miles east of Capetown, Stellenbosch is the second oldest settlement in the country. The wine producing wards are Simonsberg-Stellenbosch, Jonkershoek Valley, Bottelary, Banghoek, Dvon Valley, Papegaaiberg, and Polkadraai Hills.
Stellenbosch was nicknamed, “The City of Oaks,” because of the oak trees that were planted by Simon van der Stel who founded Stellenbosch and was the mayor of Cape Town. The well-drained terrain is hilly with the majority of vineyards located at 330 Feet above sea level. The Cape Fold Mountain range shelters the valleys. The first wine vineyards were planted by German settlers, known as Huguenot, in 1690.
The climate in Stellenbosch is Mediterranean and perfect for viticulture. The winters are rainy, cool, and occasionally windy with daytime temperatures averaging about 61°. Occasionally snow flurries occur two or three times a year. Autumn and spring are considered shoulder seasons with average temperatures at the 68° mark. Summers are generally dry and hot.
The variety of soils in Stellenbosch range from decomposed granite on the hillsides, dark, alluvial soils that drain well in the valley. The combination results in high-quality red wines. Notable reds in the region include Shiraz, Pintoage, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Prominent white wines include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc.

Raats MR Mvemve Raats de Compostella is made from 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 12% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot
The name de Compostella (meaning “field of stars” or “compilation of stars”) was chosen to reflect the fact that each component is crafted to stand alone as a world class varietal wine. The wine exhibits a deep, dark ruby color. Blackcurrant and black cherry fruit with hints of violets, cedar and cinnamon are revealed on the nose. The palate is rich and complex with mineral, blackberry fruit and dark chocolate on the finish. The five Bordeaux varietals harmoniously convene in this consistent, linear flavor profile that is polished with a well-defined finish.
Review:
he 2020 De Compostella is composed of 30% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 16% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Beginning with a focused, juicy and complex nose of dark red fruits, the wine has impeccable balance between oak, fruit and earthy floral tones. Full-bodied and with succulent acidity, the palette offers a firm frame of fine-grained tannins, while the fruit profile makes way for elegant earth and notes of crème de cassis sway with subtle flavors of sage and spiced plum. The red blend continues to somersault and reveal its complexities over the long-lingering and ever-evolving finish. Be patient with this exceptional wine

The 2021 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay Les Champans Premier Cru is from the domain’s largest premier cru holding, 4.2 acres whose vines date from 1934, 1971, and 1985. Champans is down-slope in the premier cru band, and its wine typically has more fruit and power than other Voillot Volnays.
Review:
‘The 2021 Volnay Les Champans Ter Cru has much more brightness and delineation than the Fremiets this year, with red cherries, wild strawberries and ust a touch of iodine and sous-bois. This is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine structure, pliant tannins and a harmonious finish. Not the most complex Champans encountered from this address, yet it has class.
-Vinous 91-93 Points
The 2021 les Champans is also a simply stunning example of this fine premier cru vineyard. The beautifully elegant nose wafts from the glass in a blend of red and black plums, cherries, spit-roasted quail, a complex base of soil, woodsmoke, coffee bean and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off superb depth at the core, great soil signature, ripe, fine-grained tannins and a long, nascently complex and very promising finish. This is a touch more reserved on the palate than the Fremiets and will take a bit longer to blossom, but it is going to be stellar. 2034-2085.

Origin of the name:
History tells us that the origin of the Château Maltus goes back to the Middle Ages, in the time of the crusades. The Order of Malt, well implanted on the land named Lalande de Pomerol, cultivated for the first time vines on the grounds of the Château Maltus.
