A Cabernet Franc from South Africa causes a sensation: a wine from Stellenbosch wins first place at the international tasting at the Hotel Schweizerhof in Lucerne. Blick.ch and author Alain Kunz shed light on this impressive success and the strengths of South African wines.<\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Warwick Estate takes the lead<\/h3>\r\n

In the large Cabernet Franc Tasting, in which 46 wines with at least 80% Cabernet Franc were tasted blind, the Warwick Estate from Stellenbosch secured victory. With its refined structure and perfect balance of fruit and flavour, this wine left the international competition in its wake.<\/p>\r\n

Blick.ch wine expert Alain Kunz writes: \u2018Cabernet Franc shows just how much class the grape variety can develop, especially in South Africa.\u2019 The tasting, conducted by a high-calibre jury, underlines the quality and versatility that South African wines now offer.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kapweine.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/warwick-blick.jpg” title_text=”warwick blick” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kapweine.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/warwick-blick-2.jpg” title_text=”warwick blick (2)” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Floral and perfumed, with aromas of violets, cassis and dried rosemary. Dark chocolate and thyme, cassis and blueberries follow on the palate, with taut, fine-grained tannins, as befits the 2020 vintage. The tannins are well balanced by a dense fruit core, supported by fresh acidity.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Perfect conditions in South Africa<\/h3>\r\n

Cabernet Franc, a grape variety originating in Bordeaux, finds ideal growing conditions in South Africa. The warm days and cool nights in Stellenbosch favour a harmonious ripening of the grapes, which is reflected in expressive, elegant wines.<\/p>\r\n

As Blick.ch points out, it is not only the climate, but also the innovative winegrowers and the diverse terroir that make South Africa a centre for top wines. Alain Kunz notes that Warwick Estate’s triumph is no coincidence, but proof of the high standard of South African wine production.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kapweine.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/warwick-blick-3.jpg” title_text=”warwick blick (3)” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kapweine.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/warwick-blick-4.jpg” title_text=”warwick blick (4)” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Best value for money: Rainbow’s End<\/h3>\r\n

In addition to the winning wine, another South African Cabernet Franc also attracted particular attention: the Rainbow’s End Cabernet Franc Limited Release<\/strong> impressed the jury with its exceptional value for money. For just CHF 24.90 (from 6 bottles), this wine offers quality that can otherwise be found in much higher price categories.<\/p>\r\n

This insider tip from Stellenbosch shows that South African wines not only deliver top quality, but also offer real discoveries for wine lovers on a smaller budget.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”adaptive-title-in-post” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”1037.1px” custom_margin=”||-262px|||” custom_padding=”4px||0px|||” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”479.9px” custom_margin=”-16px|auto|-16px|auto|true|” custom_padding=”50px|9px|0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/shop.kapweine.ch\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/470×609\/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95\/i\/m\/image_222034487.png” alt=”babylonstoren” title_text=”babylonstoren” url=”https:\/\/shop.kapweine.ch\/rainbow-s-end-cabernet-franc-limited-killer-deal-ab-6-flaschen-23-90-pro-flasche-2021″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/shop.kapweine.ch\/rainbow-s-end-cabernet-franc-limited-killer-deal-ab-6-flaschen-23-90-pro-flasche-2021″ link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The intense dark carmine red colour of the Rainbow’s End Cabernet Franc Limited Release already creates a desire for more. Aromas of dark chocolate, liquorice and hints of the typical fruit notes of plums and ripe mulberries spread across the nose. In the mouth, seductive tannins and a sumptuous and infinitely velvety feel. The finish is reminiscent of nuances of ripe mulberries and soft nut nougat cream.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Result: South Africa as the star of Cabernet Franc<\/h3>\r\n

The report on Blick.ch by Alain Kunz makes it clear why South Africa plays a leading role in Cabernet Franc. The victory of Warwick Estate and the honourable mention for Rainbow’s End Cabernet Franc are no coincidence.<\/p>\r\n

South Africa combines outstanding conditions with a wine tradition characterised by passion and innovation. The wines from Stellenbosch, as demonstrated in this tasting, are among the best in the world and are a clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates Cabernet Franc.<\/p>\r\n
