Stellenbosch Reserve

An attractive nose of expressive blackberries and crème de cassis that combine with pepper-spice and cured meat. Ripe, velvety tannins balance well with the expressive black fruit on the palate with notes of caramel and nutmeg adding complexity to savoury notes of black pepper, cedar, and toast. The rich fruit profile and judicious use of oak provide beautiful midpalate weight. The finish is savoury with a note of perfume.

After a relatively warm, dry winter, the 2019 vintage was characterized by a moderate summer. Cooler days and nights during ripening resulted in slower sugar accumulation, while phenolics developed steadily. Cooler weather allowed for longer hang time, resulting in more fruit development. Grapes are selected from various sites located in the Stellenbosch region, with each site contributing different characteristics to create complexity in the wine.

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.
