Rijk’s Chenin Blanc ‘Touch Of Oak’, Coastal Region

Classification: WO Coastal Region

Color: Full-bodied white wine

Country: South Africa

Region: Coastal Region, Tulbagh

Producer: Rijk’s Wine Estate, Tulbagh

Grape varieties: chenin blanc

Winemaking: The manual harvest takes place at the beginning of February and happens at night to preserve the aromas and freshness. Of the grapes, 75% undergo fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tanks; the wine matures for 11 months on the fine lees, the sediment. No malolactic fermentation. The remaining 25% ferments and matures in once-used 300-liter French oak barrels, where the wine also ages for 11 months. After blending, the wine is bottled and rests for 3 months in the cellar. Residual sugar only 2.1 grams/liter. Drink within 5 years after harvest.

Producer information: Rijk’s Private Cellar is a relatively young and small estate of 23 ha, named after Rijk Tulbagh, governor of the Cape from 1751 to 1771. The company was founded in 1996 by Neville Dorrington and his family, who, after working for 20 years in Cape Town, sought a new challenge in viticulture. The choice finally fell on Tulbagh Valley, on a never-before-cultivated plot of land of 136 ha. The fertile soil consists mainly of a loose top layer on a thin clay layer, under which is soft slate that retains almost no water. The wines of winemaker Pierre Wahl (South African winemaker of the year 2016 and valued member of the CWG (Cape Winemakers Guild)) are highly gastronomic, always intense and concentrated. The first harvest of Rijk’s was brought to market in 2000, and that same year the awards began to pour in for both the white and red wines. Very limited editions of top wines are sold under the name Rijk’s Private Cellar, Reserve, and Gold 888. Rijk’s focuses entirely on the ‘local’ grape varieties chenin blanc and pinotage, as well as some syrah and chardonnay for the Méthode Cap Classique.

Area information: The Tulbagh district (4,015 ha) is located in the WO (Wine of Origin) Coastal Region, part of the Western Cape (Geographical Unit). The valley is just over an hour's drive from Cape Town and is enclosed like an amphitheater by the majestic Winterhoek and Witzenberg mountains. The Klein Berg river winds its way through the valley. Tulbagh has traditionally been an area that mainly produced white and sparkling wines, but more and more producers are gaining praise for their red wines. The town of Tulbagh has the largest concentration of national monuments (32) in all of South Africa in Church Street. A must-see for every visitor. The nearby surroundings with sheep farms, orchards, rivers, dams, and mountains, which are covered with snow in winter, are also well worth a visit. The area has a warm climate, and the wineries usually have a reservoir for drip irrigation of the vineyards.

Serving suggestions: Hearty fish dishes, shellfish, roasted, baked or grilled with rich sauces such as beurre blanc, but also with white poultry/game birds, veal and e.g. sweetbreads, and with dishes with mushrooms, vegetable dishes, creamy white and red rind cheeses.

Serving temperature: 11 to 14ºC

Other information: De Rijk's Chenin Blanc is one of the two South African Chenins with SUPER CHENIN status, which is awarded based on annual blind tastings for the WINE Magazine Chenin Blanc Challenge.
