Rich black fruit is prominent on the nose, showing cassis and Black Forest Gateaux with sweet baking spices and walnuts. Concentrated black fruit follows through on the palate, where notes of cedar, cinnamon and cloves add complexity. The fruit sweetness balances the grippy tannins that provide structure to this Cabernet-driven blend.

The 2021 vintage followed a cool, wet winter, where regular cold fronts replenished water reserves to pre-drought levels. Moderate temperatures throughout the growing and ripening seasons meant that grapes ripened slowly, retaining acidity while phenolics developed fully. The wines of the 2021 vintage show good promise, with high natural acidity and a good concentration of fruit flavours, indicating quality wines with good aging potential.

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.
