Why
are Port-wines of Calitzdorp so good?
Port-grape varieties prefer a
hot, dry, climate such as that of Calitzdorp. There are quite a
lot of similarities between the climate of Calitzdorp and the Douro
valley in Portugal. The poor, well-drained soils of
Calitzdorp, where vines struggle to ripen, are very suitable for
port - wine production. These port-wines are produced from
internationally recognized varieties such as Tinta
Barocca and Touriga Nacional.
A blend of these varieties enhances the aroma-intensity, depth
and complexity of these port-wines. Last, but by no means least
the dedication of the port-makers is pivotal in the production
of these prizewinning port-wines, made in the classic tradition
of a high alcohol and relatively low sugar content.
