{"title":"Off the Record","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOff the Record is een boutique wijnmakerij in Elgin, Zuid-Afrika, opgericht door Bobby Wallace. De focus ligt op het produceren van premium, kleinschalige wijnen die de essentie van hun terroir weerspiegelen. De Chenin Blanc komt uit het koele Elgin-district en is zeldzaam voor de regio. De Syrah wordt geteeld op een hooggelegen wijngaard op de Ceres Plateau, op 1000 meter boven zeeniveau, in vruchtbare bodems die zorgen voor intensiteit en karakter. Bobby Wallace streeft naar minimale interventie in de kelder om de ware expressie van druif en locatie te behouden. Zijn wijnen worden geprezen door wijncritici, waaronder Tim Atkin, die de Syrah omschrijft als een van de beste in Zuid-Afrika.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"off-the-record-elgin-chenin-blanc","title":"Off The Record Elgin Chenin Blanc","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes Off The Record Elgin Chenin Blanc \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOff The Record Elgin Chenin Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e is rich in aromas such as dried apricots, ripe citrus, and a hint of wood.
