This wine comes out of a long tradition of winemaking in South Africa that can be traced back to the first plantings in 1659, but reflects a quality of South African wine that is rarely seen in North America. Sourced from 30 year-old, dry-farmed, bush vines, this wine was produced in conjunction with the Basson family, who have been farming this estate in the Swartland for four generations.
The wine opens with complex but inviting aromas of graphite, black pepper and mulberry. The palate is rich and dynamic with flavors of Damson plum, kola nut, sassafras, tayberry, and Bing cherry. Silken but lengthy tannins carry the wine from start to finish, with notes of tobacco, oak and spiced vanilla.
Winemaker Hal Landvoigt has traveled wine regions around the world, sourcing the finest grapes and cultivating a unique and unpretentious winemaking style. He was drawn to the Swartland because of the opportunities in viticulture that do not exist almost anywhere else in the world. As he tasted wines with the Basson family, sitting in the 100-year-old earth-bricked cellar that was built by Stephan’s great grandfather, he recognized that he was tasting history.
Warp + Weft are the crossed threads that comprise a piece of fabric.
