Nestled in the heart of Stellenbosch, Guardian Peak Wines draws inspiration from the majestic peak overlooking the estate. Established in 1998, the winery combines traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovation to craft wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Western Cape.

Tasting Notes
The SMG 2021 presents a deep ruby hue with a complex bouquet of cranberry, red liquorice, and spicy blackberry compote, accented by notes of savoury spice and flint. On the palate, it delivers dense flavours of mulberry and blackberry, layered with tobacco, leather, and cinnamon, culminating in a full-bodied wine with bold, spicy tannins and a long, lingering finish.
