A Shiraz reflecting the elegance of granitic soils. It invites with subtle floral aromatics and dried fynbos shrubbery of the warm mountain slopes. Complex flavours of tart red cranberry and pomegranate and earthy rhubarb and beetroot with black olives, complements an elegant palate with medium body and a firm rustic tannin structure. A wine with great bottle-ageing possibility.

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.

Tasting Notes

JancisRobinson.com 17

Spontaneous whole-bunch fermentation. Planted on deep, sandy, decomposed granite and surrounded by fynbos. Almost bloody, but not quite. Almost iron, but not quite. Savoury and hearty to begin with: roast beef and roast veg. Lots of rosemary and thyme. The tannins feel intentional. Persistent, if not quite stubborn. Then the wine seems to start to soften and lift a little. Peonies. Finishes remarkably delicate on sweet cherry and strawberry fruit. (TC) 14% [Tamlyn Currin, 23/10/2024]
