I like to think that when God created all his favourite places in the world He took the offcuts and made this beautiful valley. The diversity of soils we are blessed with form a patchwork of terroir that leads you to the discovery of a small piece of Burgundy, a little bit of Champagne, some Alsace, some Sancerre...

I know the soil of Weltevrede. I grew up playing in it, as did my father and his father before him, ever since my great-grandfather bought this land in 1912. He was obviously well satisfied with the soil and climate, our terroir, and named it Weltevrede.

Rooted in broken shale rock slopes these Chardonnay vines bear fruit with juicy elegance and lively lime-like flavours. The wine expresses its origin in a unique oystershell minerality.	Intense and focussed. Many describe this one as Chablis-like, tighter style with a beautiful feminine elegance and lingering aftertaste.	2007	Alc 13.5% RS 3.0g/l TS 6.6g/l	Green curries, lemon and herb chicken and tasty seafood.

Grown on rust coloured soil on calcrete (limestone) formations, remnants of an ancient water table, this Chardonnay bears thick skinned berries with rich extract.	Rusted Soil has a rich tropical peachiness with a chalky minerality that keeps it eminently drinkable. When matured it shows more and more ripe yellow fruit, marmalade and toast with a rich mouth filling finish.	2007	Alc 14% RS 3.0g/l TS 6.6g/l	Curries, roast chicken and fish, paella and other spicy foods.

Round sandstone and quartzite boulders came rolling from the mountains higher up in the valley and settled at Weltevrede. Sauvignon blanc thrives on this terroir that came travelling from far away.	The Travelling Stone reveals flavours of flint, mintlike minerality, fig leafs and kiwi fruit.	2008	Alc 12% RS 2.2g/l TS 6.1g/l	Leafy salads with red, green and yellow peppers, tomato and basil and goats cheese.

Some of the oldest Gewurztraminer vineyards in South Africa are planted on south facing slopes of Weltevrede Estate. Rooted in shale and exposed to south eastern breezes, cool night temperatures ensure the development of attractive aromas.	This wine is an extrovert, an eccentric food lover with perfumed rose and litchi aromas.	2008	Alc 14% RS 9.4g/l TS 6.6g/l	Cheese platters, Bobotie, Thai food and other flavourful dishes.

	On almost solid rock on the outskirts of Weltevrede Estate these vines push their roots into the cracks in the bedrock. The vineyard yields bunches with tiny berries of pitch black colour and compact concentration of flavour.	This Bedrock Black Syrah fills the mouth with black fruit flavours, dark chocolate, pepper and soft ripe tanins.	2006	Alc 14.9% RS 4.0g/l TS 5.0g/l	Pepper steak prepared on open fire,hearty stews and venison.
