Light yellow in color. A scent featuring herbs such as honeysuckle, fruit like pomegranate and passion fruit juice, and a hint of wood. The taste is smooth; in addition to sufficient fruit, the wine offers an elegant freshness, mild acidity, and characteristics of subtle wood use.
Rijk’s Chenin Blanc ‘Touch Of Oak’, Coastal Region
Classification: WO Coastal Region
Color: Full-bodied white wine
Country: South Africa
Region: Coastal Region, Tulbagh
Producer: Rijk’s Wine Estate, Tulbagh
Grape varieties: chenin blanc
Winemaking: The manual harvest takes place at the beginning of February and happens at night to preserve the aromas and freshness. Of the grapes, 75% undergo fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tanks; the wine matures for 11 months on the fine lees, the sediment. No malolactic fermentation. The remaining 25% ferments and matures in once-used 300-liter French oak barrels, where the wine also ages for 11 months. After blending, the wine is bottled and rests for 3 months in the cellar. Residual sugar only 2.1 grams/liter. Drink within 5 years after harvest.
Producer information: Rijk’s Private Cellar is a relatively young and small estate of 23 ha, named after Rijk Tulbagh, governor of the Cape from 1751 to 1771. The company was founded in 1996 by Neville Dorrington and his family, who, after working for 20 years in Cape Town, sought a new challenge in viticulture. The choice finally fell on Tulbagh Valley, on a never-before-cultivated plot of land of 136 ha. The fertile soil consists mainly of a loose top layer on a thin clay layer, under which is soft slate that retains almost no water. The wines of winemaker Pierre Wahl (South African winemaker of the year 2016 and valued member of the CWG (Cape Winemakers Guild)) are highly gastronomic, always intense and concentrated. The first harvest of Rijk’s was brought to market in 2000, and that same year the awards began to pour in for both the white and red wines. Very limited editions of top wines are sold under the name Rijk’s Private Cellar, Reserve, and Gold 888. Rijk’s focuses entirely on the ‘local’ grape varieties chenin blanc and pinotage, as well as some syrah and chardonnay for the Méthode Cap Classique.
Area information: The Tulbagh district (4,015 ha) is located in the WO (Wine of Origin) Coastal Region, part of the Western Cape (Geographical Unit). The valley is just over an hour's drive from Cape Town and is enclosed like an amphitheater by the majestic Winterhoek and Witzenberg mountains. The Klein Berg river winds its way through the valley. Tulbagh has traditionally been an area that mainly produced white and sparkling wines, but more and more producers are gaining praise for their red wines. The town of Tulbagh has the largest concentration of national monuments (32) in all of South Africa in Church Street. A must-see for every visitor. The nearby surroundings with sheep farms, orchards, rivers, dams, and mountains, which are covered with snow in winter, are also well worth a visit. The area has a warm climate, and the wineries usually have a reservoir for drip irrigation of the vineyards.
Serving suggestions: Hearty fish dishes, shellfish, roasted, baked or grilled with rich sauces such as beurre blanc, but also with white poultry/game birds, veal and e.g. sweetbreads, and with dishes with mushrooms, vegetable dishes, creamy white and red rind cheeses.
Serving temperature: 11 to 14ºC
Other information: De Rijk's Chenin Blanc is one of the two South African Chenins with SUPER CHENIN status, which is awarded based on annual blind tastings for the WINE Magazine Chenin Blanc Challenge.

Had great experience with the sousbox. Especially recommended for a romantic successful home evening with the two of you. Candles on, music in the background and in turn, or cozy together, making the dishes and eating. Nice wine. Delicious no hurry, and top quality eat. What else do you want? What weakened love blooms again. An absolute must!
Sous is actually a culinary experience at home! Whether you want to dine extensively (while the children are in bed and you don't have to arrange a babysitter) or if you want to put a whole table full of tasty snacks in no time, because with Sous everyone can do it! It starts with the good service at the door, to the handwritten card that you receive during the holidays. And don't forget the tasty food of course;) This means that we have been a customer of Sous for years and we hope to be able to enjoy this for a long time.
Ordered a box for the second time and enjoyed it again! The delivery is super, very well packaged and what delicious dishes! It is already a party to draw up the signs according to the supplied guidelines. And then to have a star meal in your own house. We will do this much more often, a big 10!
So easy. Delicious food without worries. With Christmas, no shopping lists, not in line in the stores, no stress in the kitchen. Pure luxury. If you are (already a bit older) opposite to invite people, just order a delicious meal at Sous, then you can also enjoy the food and the fun. Several times, ordered different meals and every time it was perfect!
We had much to celebrate with our family. Above all, life; After a nasty disease that has left my body. And the happiness of a brand new bridal couple whose wedding we had missed because I am not allowed to fly after an operation. The World of Streetfood combines perfectly with the vegetarian variant. We sat at the table with each other a wonderful afternoon. The dishes were put together by changing chefs. It was a relaxed and delicious experience.

Foodies preceded you.
“A delightful experience, enjoyed an exquisite meal. Neatly packaged, clearly described what you need to do to REALLY enjoy it. What a wonderful formula!”
“We ordered sous for our anniversary dinner. Since we have two children under three, it is not always possible to arrange a good night out. This way we could enjoy fine cuisine at home while the two little troublemakers slept peacefully. Delivery was smooth, preparation was easy, and tasting was ecstatic!”
“Perfect, every box is unique. We ordered for the first time during the pandemic and many times since then. Also, quite a few times as a gift for my friends—a perfect surprise on their doorstep! The refrigerated delivery service is the best! Would recommend 100%”
“Besides the great concept, diverse choice, and outstanding performance, communicating with sous was next level. Customer experience first. Very, very happy, and before I forget, the food is delicious!”
“Both boxes (Ron's Rames and Thai Boat) complemented each other perfectly in terms of flavors and presentation! We'll definitely be doing this again!”
“Delicious menu! Tasty and easy to prepare. You have to provide a nice ambiance yourself (nice plates, candles, music). If you create this romantic setting it will be a true 'night out'. Of course you have to go into the kitchen yourself to do the minimum of preparation, but it is also nice that you can make these beautiful creations on the plate yourself. Recommended!”
“The menu selection and delivery went very smoothly! A great way to have a lovely dinner at home with your guests, without being in the kitchen all the time. So all the time for catching up and enjoying great amazing food. Definitely something to do more often and try out the various restaurants.”
“I received this Surprise Restaurant Dinner meal prepared by Ron, the day before my birthday, from my sister-in-law who lives in Spain. I say Surprise Restaurant Dinner, because that's the ultimate experience I got after I unpacked the box, heated it according to the simple instructions and then enjoyed it with my husband of 48 years. The guy who had delivered it had given me a warm smile and said: enjoy it. ”
“We are huge fans of sous; as date nights out of the house with a baby aren't always that easy, we often have date nights at home with a sous box. This last time we had the Dijk 9 Autumn Menu, and of all the sous boxes we've ordered over the past few years, this was absolutely the best!”
“The information on the site matches reality. Ordering is simple. Delivery is easy to track online and always on time. And the quality of the food is always a reason to be happy. For us, there's no need to get in the car and drive to a restaurant anymore. And nobody has to be the designated driver anymore.”
“It was delicious. Both the Indonesian rice table and the Chinese shared dining meat dishes were tasty. In December, we're going for the Dick Middelweerd menu. I think this is a great formula. I'm going to use it more often.”
