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 2018 was the fourth consecutive year of serious drought in the Cape winelands. Yet, we didn't have any drastic heat spokes during the harvest period and the vines showed little stress despite the severe dry conditions. The overall fruit quality was excellent, with very small berries producing great concentration of flavours On our Three Pines Syrah we always focus on the texture - the "mouthfeel" - and the fine balance between power and elegance. It is not an "in your face" style: it shows pretty floral notes with slight pepperiness and the palate is smooth and polished with a long elegant finish - what one critic described as "having the texture of crushed violets"'
