THEUNISKRAAL CAPE RIESLING

WHY IS IT SPECIAL?

Theuniskraal Cape Riesling is particularly compelling because it represents both heritage and terroir: the estate is one of South Africa’s oldest white-wine producers, and this Riesling reflects its Tulbagh Valley origins with precision. The cool mountain climate, stony soils, and low-yield vineyard parcels contribute to its elegant minerality, refined acidity, and aromatic vibrancy — qualities that make it a standout Cape Riesling that rewards both early enjoyment and thoughtful ageing.

Product details

Theuniskraal Cape Riesling is produced at Theuniskraal Wine Estate in the heart of the Tulbagh Valley, a historic family estate established in 1948. The vineyard soils are stony, sandy loam, and the mountain‑influenced site (with altitudes up to ~240 m) gives the Riesling a natural lift and freshness. The wine is cold‑fermented in stainless steel at low temperatures (14°C) for up to 21 days, preserving its delicate aromatics and crispness. With a modest 12 % alcohol, 3.6 g/L residual sugar and 6.3 g/L total acidity, the wine delivers a fresh and elegant profile.

Food Pairing

This Riesling is a beautifully versatile companion to West Coast mussels in garlic & white wine, where its citrus and green-apple brightness lifts the briny shellfish. It also works delightfully with lemon-herb roast chicken or spring vegetable risotto, bringing a refreshing balance to lightly flavoured dishes. For cheese pairings, it’s especially enjoyable with soft cheeses like goat’s cheese or fresh chèvre, allowing the wine’s floral and fruit notes to shine.
