Arendsig Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Wine Of The Month
Arendsig – The home of Single Vineyard Wines
Arendsig (Eagle’s View) is a privately owned farm with its own vineyards and boutique cellar situated in the (southern part) foot hills of the Robertson Valley. It is in this beautiful valley that Lourens van der Westhuizen and his team hand-select grapes of the finest quality, from which he hand crafts his quality wines with its unique and distinct aroma, flavour and character.
Due to our location we receive morning fog during the winter season which is gently burned away by the late morning sun. During summer we have an everyday South-Easterly wind that blows from the ocean to cool down the vines. In the vineyard I am able to use irrigation for 2 hours every second day during crucial times. Because of this I can bring down the micro climate between 12pm and 2pm during hot summer days, before the South-Eastery starts to do its job. The night temperatures tend to cool down extremely well. All in all we have a great climate for growing a diversity of cultivars in this area.
Proprietors Philosophy
The wine must be a true reflection of our terroir created from our own vineyards. Nurtured, produced and bottled with minimal interference. It’s the soil with all the microbes, cycle of elements and the help of living organisms that creates the heartbeat for my vines. The location towards the sun, wind and holistic climate conditions reflects the uniqueness of each vineyard. Spontaneous fermentation, no added yeast, is used with no enzymes. Maturation takes place in neutral vessels to bring through the unique vineyard characteristics which is specific to the site.
