Stellenbosch Reserve
Jean Engelbrecht along with his friends Dillie Malherbe and Jannie Durand set out to create a wine that would not only embody all that is Stellenbosch but that would also pay homage to this great town at the heart of the Cape winelands. Each wine in this range pays tribute to an historical landmark in Stellenbosch.
Description
The first vintage of the Stellenbosch Reserve Kruithuis Syrah shows a combination of red and black fruit on the nose – cranberry, red cherry, ripe plum and cassis. Fruit is layered with sweet spicy notes of nutmeg, all spice and a touch of vanilla. The palate is plush with soft, ripe tannins, and a juicy mid palate showing that same combination of red and black fruit. The fruit profile is lifted by a fresh acidity, giving the wine a medium body and a velvety finish.
