With its deep, dark red color and seductive spicy aromas, the Eikehof Shiraz shows its full personality. Coming from the traditional Eikehof Wine Estate in Franschhoek, it reflects the more than 120-year history of the Malherbe family, who have been running the estate since 1903 in the fourth generation.

The nose seduces with aromas of white pepper, fine spices and dark berries, which combine harmoniously to create an elegant bouquet. On the palate, the Eikehof Shiraz is full-bodied and structured, with a round, soft texture that brings out the concentration of the grapes to optimum effect.

Serve this red wine at 16-18 °C with grilled or braised meat, game dishes, spicy cheese or simply as a full-bodied companion for special moments of pleasure.

Eikehof Wines

Eikehof ist ein familiengeführtes Boutique-Weingut im südafrikanischen Franschhoek Valley in der renommierten Weinregion Western Cape. Das Weingut liegt an der bekannten Weinroute nahe La Motte und ist seit 1903 im Besitz der Familie Malherbe. Heute führt François Malherbe das traditionsreiche Gut bereits in vierter Generation und produziert seine Weine noch immer im historischen Weinkeller der Familie.

Die rund 23 bis 58 Hektar große Farm ist von alten Eichenbäumen geprägt, die dem Weingut auch seinen Namen geben („Eikehof“ bedeutet sinngemäß „Hof der Eichen“). Besonders bekannt ist das Gut für seine historischen Sémillon-Reben aus dem Jahr 1902 – einer der ältesten noch produzierenden Weinberge Südafrikas.

Eikehof setzt auf eine handwerkliche, qualitätsorientierte Weinproduktion in kleinen Mengen. Nur ein Teil der auf dem Gut angebauten Trauben wird für die eigene Vinifikation verwendet, wodurch ein überschaubares Portfolio charakterstarker Weine entsteht. Das Weingut verbindet traditionelle Methoden mit moderner Kellertechnik und legt großen Wert auf authentischen Ausdruck des Franschhoek-Terroirs.

Als kleines Familienweingut steht Eikehof für persönliche Gastfreundschaft, sorgfältige Handarbeit und hochwertige südafrikanische Weine mit regionalem Charakter.

Waterford Kevin Arnold Shiraz

The Shiraz (or Syrah) grape variety repeatedly achieves exceptional qualities in South Africa. The Waterford Estate Kevin Arnold Shiraz 2020 is an impressive example of this. Winemaker Kevin Arnold is an avowed fan of the grape variety. He has also managed to create a Shiraz in the Blaauwklippen Valley in not too long a time (Waterford Estate was founded in 1998) that plays in the international premier league.The bouquet of the Waterford Estate Kevin Arnold Shiraz combines multi-layered notes of dark plums with intense floral notes of violets. Nuances of licorice and leather as well as subtle earthy tones and a fine spiciness round off the bouquet.On the palate, this South African red wine is dry and engaging, with well-structured, velvety-soft tannins. Meryl Weaver writes of "powerful but supple tannins" in John Platter's Wine Guide. She honors the Waterford Estate Kevin Arnold Shiraz 2020 with 92 points (4.5 out of 5 stars). Great balance and fine acidity. The finish is concentrated and cool, with a long aftertaste.6% Mourvèdre are part of the composition. The red wine from the Stellenbosch region matured for more than 20 months in French oak barrels. The fact that Waterford Estate associates something special with its Shiraz wines can also be seen in the fact that each wine is named after a child of the Ord and Arnold families, the owners of the wine estate. The Waterford Estate Kevin Arnold Shiraz is dedicated to "Ashleigh Anne".

This impenetrable ruby red Shiraz (Syrah) from South Africa is fruity and impressively fresh. At the same time, it impresses with a fine spiciness thanks to its long maturation in oak.

Vilafonté Series C

Not many wines of this type make it to the wine Olympics, and the Vilafonté Series C is one of them.In the glass, it presents itself with a dark red-black color that fades to a light ruby-red rim. The nose is spoiled by a multi-layered palette of aromas. Notes of incense and violet blossom are surrounded by delicious black plum, fresh blackcurrant and boysenberry. After some time in the glass, subtle hints of sandalwood, fine tobacco and juicy juniper emerge. The carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec grapes are vinified with the utmost care to perfectly preserve their unique aromas and complex structure. On the palate, the Vilafonté Series C is wonderfully lush with silky tannins. The intense fruit adds great dimension to this elegant and balanced red wine.The Vilafonté Series C can be enjoyed very well when young, but develops additional complexity and length as it matures in the bottle.We recommend decanting the wine at least 2 hours before drinking.
