Go to the shopThe governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, founded our hometown and gave it his name. He is also considered the father of our country’s wine heritage. It is fitting that we named our Bordeaux-style blend after him. The blend consists of five varieties sourced from various sites across Stellenbosch, representing a quintessential Stellenbosch red wine.
This wine opens with bold, inviting aromas of blackcurrant, red cherry, kirsch, blackberry and a delicate note of jasmine. As the wine opens in the glass, layers of sweet baking spices, ginger and red liquorice emerge, adding complexity. The palate is framed by fine, ripe tannins and bright acidity, offering a vibrant combination of red and black fruit. Flavours of cherry, blackcurrant and milk chocolate are complemented by subtle hints of sandalwood and cinnamon, leading to a long finish with lingering notes of cherry and sweet spice.
