Wineglasses

Sauvignon Blanc
White wine which is usually drunk young. His sparkling freshness, the strong spicy flavours unfold perfectly in wine glasses with small to medium sized chalices.
Chardonnay
For the Chardonnay, even in the steel tank developed, we recommend a white wine glass with small to medium sized chalices. The slender body of the Chardonnay will be lost in a wine glass with a large goblet.
Chardonnay from the oak casks
This wine own taste from the sweet wood of new oak casks , depending on the intensity of the taste of wood, the chardonnay from oak barrels should be enjoyed in a medium-sized wine glass. The enjoyment of its predications requires that the retting flavours disappear and do not collect. The narrow opening of the glass will cause the low acidity of the wine reaches the tongue, and then comes to the point.
Fumé Blancs / heavy Chardonnays
For wood fermented Fumés Chardonnays we are offering an extra large wine glass. You may, in the interest of the development of these important wines with a large capacity, hark on your large glasses of red wine back.
Pinot Noir
The big challenge for the cellar masters and connoisseurs. Pinot Noir is the young form with sweetness similar to a candy, although the fermentation process is finished. This sweet - in fact is a natural sweetness received to the connection with alcohol, it disappears - diffuses immediately when the red wine is filled into a wine glass, which has at cup with a wide diameter. After a few minutes the characteristic cherry and plum tones of the Pinot Noir starting flowering. Make sure that you do not use for the Pinot Noir a balloon glass a big red wine glass, that should eventually replace the decanter should, because then the wine loses its delicately fruity wine note.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The king of reds. A collector's prized wine. In many wine cellars, there are niches in which ancient forefathers of the current year rest and wait for the special day on which they are drunk or sold. Tannin, which this wine brings is naturally binding the oxygen and gives this wine a long life. Tanin is hard, if the wine is young and provides a kind of dullness in the perception. The solutions are red wine glasses, goblets and the wine can breathe. The contact with the air makes the Tanin smooth; the wine glass should have an opening with a tapering shape to prevent the loss of the fraquance bouquets of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pinotage, Shiraz, Malbec
Alcoholic tanin rich reds with partially voluminous bodies. For the reds, we recommend a medium size glass of red wine that the Tanin can build up a connection with oxygen and the alcohol is able to disappear, not stunned the nose and prevent that the alcohol becomes a part of the perception. With the right wineglass you will have all the pleasure.
Dessert and fortified wines
Good dessert wines are made from Sémillon, Sauvignon, Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat grapes. South Africa's most famous dessert wine is the Vin de Constance. The sweetness is for the lovers and connoisseurs not important. It is all about the smell and taste of the dessert wine offers. For a connoisseur it is a wine with senses. No loss of the Bouquet, but an exhilarating journey into a rich and spicy fragrance. Small wine glasses with a tapered opening up of the cup of the wineglass ensure a metropolitan fragrance of the dessert wine and keep the diversity of tastes.
The highly alcohol concentrated dessert wines from Australia and France (Sauternes) a wine glass with a large volume is recommended, but we offer a medium to small size wineglass because we do not want to risk loss of bouquets
