Red Blend

On the palate

"Rooi refers not to the tea, but to the blend of equal parts Syrah and Cinsault with 20% each of Grenache and Tinta Barocca. Spicy, taut and herbal, with lots of sappy whole bunch characters, pepper and red cherry fruit, very little wood and a lot of zip and energy. 2023-27" – Tim Atkin South African Report 2022

"My family bought a small farm on the Kasteelberg in 2009. 11 years later a cellar was built, which is currently shared between Donovan (Rall Wines), Jolandie (Wolf and Woman Wines) and myself. My passion is Syrah and Chenin Blanc although a few select vineyards are too special to pass up. I have a “hands-off” approach in the winery unless something requires attention. I don’t feel the need to justify my position as a winemaker by being hyperactive in the cellar. Ultimately the vineyard and the resulting wine must do the talking."
