Description
Nestled in the picturesque Piekenierskloof, Donkiesbaai vineyards benefit from a unique combination of deep sandy soils and the cooling influence of the nearby West Coast breezes. This ideal terroir is key to producing wines of incredible depth and character, reflecting the rugged beauty of the region.
The Suiderkruis 2019 captures the essence of this distinctive landscape. The name "Suiderkruis" (Southern Cross) symbolizes the connection between the land and the heavens, guiding the Engelbrecht family’s journey in winemaking. This wine blends tradition with modernity, offering a fresh yet complex profile that’s deeply rooted in the West Coast’s rich winemaking heritage.
Tasting Notes
The Donkiesbaai Suiderkruis 2019 presents a complex bouquet of sour cherry, smoked meat, sweet spices, and milk chocolate. On the palate, it offers an initial burst of red fruits, evolving into ripe plum and black cherry, with layers of nutmeg, black pepper, and forest floor notes. The wine is supported by fine, savory tannins and a fresh, cleansing acidity, with top notes of violets.
