About this bottle

The Mooiplaas Classic Chenin Blanc Bush Vines is a white wine made from chenin blanc from Stellenbosch in South Africa. The grapes come from bush vines: free-standing, low-pruned vines that grow in the shape of a bush without trellising. It is one of the chenins from Mooiplaas, which bottles this grape in several versions. The label states 14% vol.

Mooiplaas werd in 1806 gesticht door Jan Christoffel Bosman. In 1963 kocht de familie Roos de boerderij; tegenwoordig is Louis Roos de eigenaar. Het landgoed ligt hoog in de Bottelary Hills bij Stellenbosch, op zo'n 370 meter, en telt 243 hectare. Daarvan is ongeveer 100 hectare met wijnstokken beplant en 70 hectare beschermd als particulier natuurreservaat.

De druiven voor deze wijn zijn afkomstig van oude bush vines (losstaande, laaggesnoeide wijnstokken), uit de slechts 2 ha grote Houmoed wijngaard. Vanuit deze wijngaard, gelegen op 280 meter boven zeeniveau, is False Bay te zien. In de avond waait er een verkoelende zeebries door de wijngaarden. Dit alles resulteert in een prachtige goudgele wijn, met in de neus tonen van tropisch fruit en appel. De wijn is prachtig in balans, vol met aroma's van mango en meloen, prettige zuren en een licht mineralige toets.

Why this works together

Gekozen op de kleur (witte wijn), het smaakprofiel uit onze webshop (fris & droog), de druif (chenin), het alcoholpercentage (14%) en de tonen van appel en mango in de omschrijving. Het zuur snijdt door zout en vet heen, zodat de tweede hap weer smaakt als de eerste. Zonder houtrijping blijft er niets tussen de wijn en het gerecht in staan.

Serve at 10 to 12 °C.

What is needed

For 4 people

Main courseCod with mustard sauce and leek

Ingredients

600 grams of cod fillet
2 leeks
200 millilitres of cooking cream
2 tablespoons of coarse mustard
30 grams butter
800 grams potatoes
salt and pepper

Method

Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
Cut the leek into rings, wash them well and gently braise them for 5 minutes in half of the butter.
Fry the salted and peppered cod in the rest of the butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it just flakes apart.
Gently heat the cooking cream with the mustard and season with salt and pepper.
Serve the cod on the leek, with the mustard sauce and the potatoes.

With the cheeseBrie de Meaux

Ingredients

160 grams of Brie de Meaux

Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.

Method

Chill the melon and take the ham out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving.
