Stark-condé Wines
Stark-Condé Wines is located in the picturesque Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch. It is a dramatic valley with steep changes in vineyard elevation from 150 to 600 metres making for a range of sites with distinct characteristics. At Stark-Condé they stick to traditional winemaking methods: open tank fermentation meticulous sorting of grapes hand-punchdowns basket pressing and maturation in small French oak barrels.
Description
The vineyards farred well in a very interesting season. Warmer temperatures during early harvest produced quality fruit with enhanced aromatics and richness. Perfect canopy and healthy vigour in the vineyards, despite smaller berries and loose bunches - a residual effect of the drought still evident. This will be an excellent, cellar-worthy vintage supported by firm tannins and zippy acidity. When young, this wine shows the violet, cassis, black cherry notes typical of this vineyard, coupled with the fine elegant tannins for which the Jonkershoek Valley is known.
Food Pairing
Pair with ostrich fillet, springbok loin or roasted leg of lamb.
