Obscura Red Blend

Lamb, charcuterie, mushrooms, vegetables, stews, cheese

Our OBSCURA Red Blend 2024 is made from 62% Grenache Noir and 38% Shiraz, all fermented naturally in qvevri. The Grenache was destemmed, while the Shiraz went in as whole bunches. Fermentation began spontaneously after seven to eight days, with the cap punched down gently by hand using a traditional wooden tool, four times a day. After a total of 14 days on the skins, the wine was carefully drained off without pressing. The individual components were then left to settle naturally before blending and bottling, unfined and unfiltered.

Klein Amoskuil, tucked away in the rugged Swartland, is a farm with stories to tell. Once a tobacco farm, now home to natural qvevri wines and certified organic vineyards, it’s all about winemaking with minimal intervention. No irrigation, just dryland, organic farming in the harshest conditions. The wines of Klein Amoskuil embrace a hands-off, back-to-basics approach. In their range of organic wines and natural wines fermented in traditional Georgian qvevri, each bottle of Klein Amoskuil wine reflects the wild spirit of the Swartland—earthy, untamed, and full of character.
