About the wine
Spectacular Bordeaux blend from the iconic Stellenbosch hills
-
Willie and Faisal pick the very best fruit from their finest vineyards in the Stellenbosch Hills to make this luxury Bordeaux blend. We’ve landed three vintages - from 2015 to 2017 - all at once, giving you the perfect chance to see how a wine ages.
-
The 2017 vintage is the youngest and freshest of the three. It’s a lot more like the ‘15 than the ‘16 with the same structure and balance, it’s just two years younger. In 2023 it’ll taste remarkably similar - like a fine aged Bordeaux.
-
On the nose it’s similar again. With those lovely aromas of cigar box and cedarwood but with more cassis on the palate. And as it ages, all those truffly, forest floor flavours will mature as well. If you like the 2015, this might be one to hold onto for a couple of years.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kobie & Faisal
- Kobie is a top winemaker from one of South Africa’s most medalled wineries
- Faisal was a vineyard owner who realised the grapes he sold to boutique wineries were going into their top award winning wines...
- So he decided to employ Kobie and make their own wines. After all everyone says 'all great wine is made in the vineyard!' After 10 years and numerous medals all their hard work has paid off, and they get the awards and not their neighbours!
