Keermont
Agriculture in the Upper Blaauwklippen Valley can be traced back to 1694. In 2003 the Wraith family moved to the Western Cape from Gauteng and bought two adjacent farms. These two farms are now farmed as one Estate known as Keermont Vineyards. 2005 saw the start of a major vineyard planting programme on lands that had been fallow for a number of years. We planted 21Ha over seven years to add to an existing 8Ha of older vineyards. Our official maiden vintage was 2007 and in 2010 a spring water bottling plant on Fleurfontein was converted into a fully functional winery complete with offices tasting room processing facilities and barrel rooms.
Description
Bright ruby red in the glass, the Keermont Amphitheatre 2017 opens with savoury herbal notes and rich ripe fruit complimented by hints of baked pudding, vanilla, cloves and potpourri. The palate is structured and tight. Vibrant red fruit flavours of strawberries and cherries with typical herbal notes with hints if tanned leather and sandal wood. Layers of flavour and tannin linger into a long, balanced savoury finish. Drink 2024-2037.
