Description
The 2020 Swerwer Shiraz offers subtle aromas of blackberries, fynbos, lavender, and pepper. The palate reveals vibrant red fruit, with crunchy tannins, bright acidity, and a long, dry finish. This elegant Shiraz, influenced by the granitic soils of Swartland, delivers earthy and cedar notes, with a well-structured mouthfeel and a fruity aftertaste. A standout vintage from Jasper Wickens, this wine is beautifully balanced, making it a treat now and for years to come.
Producer Profile
Swerwer Wines are produced by winemaker JC Wickens based in the Swartland winemaking region. Jasper is a young, passionate, fun-loving guy who isn’t afraid to do things a little differently. He can usually be found in his wine cellar working away with 80’s rock playing in the background. During his early winemaking days he used to ‘migrate’ from harvest to harvest in different winemaking regions in the world including the US, Spain & France. These frequent travels not only gave him invaluable winemaking experience but also earned him the nickname ‘Swerwer’ meaning Wanderer in Afrikaans.
