Fragrant aromas of black currant and blueberry, with toast, cigar box and a hint of black pepper. Full bodied with structured tannins providing backbone, the palate offers rich cassis and black cherries with cedar, tobacco leaf and graphite. Layers of flavour with an intense finish of cassis and dark chocolate.

Ideal winter conditions provided substantial rainfall to supplement water reserves, with good cold units throughout the winter months of 2021. Bud-break was slightly later than usual due to the cold winter. Rainfall in the spring was also good for our vineyards during the critical times of flowering and crop set. A warm January in 2022 with a few heat waves was good for ripening, especially the red varieties. Relatively dry summer months allowed for grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness, with a long hangtime for flavour development.

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.
