This exceptional Eikendal Infused by Earth Cabernet Franc comes from a particularly barren and stony section of the Classique vineyard, characterized by so-called "Koffieklip", deep clay and weathered granite. The vines grow there without artificial irrigation under natural stress conditions - the result: small, highly concentrated berries that produce a powerful yet elegant red wine.

The grapes are harvested selectively in three stages of ripeness - from pre-fruit-fresh to fruit-fresh to ripe - which gives the wine a fascinatingly complex spectrum of aromas. A small proportion of whole grapes provides additional freshness and mineral notes. After a particularly long maceration period and natural spontaneous fermentation, the wine is matured for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels, whereby untoasted barriques do not mask the fine varietal character.

In the glass, the Eikendal Cabernet Franc impresses with intense aromas of dark berries, herbs, fine spices and a hint of graphite. The well-integrated acidity, silky tannins and mineral undertone make it an extremely exciting and long-lasting red wine.

Serving tip: This wine develops particularly harmoniously at a serving temperature of 18-20 °C. It is the perfect culinary accompaniment to aromatic dishes such as lamb meatballs in tomato sauce, roast turkey with cranberry sauce or warm camembert with rosemary - a highlight for any autumn/winter menu.

Ageing potential: up to 20 years - ideal for collectors and lovers of characterful red wines.

Product recommendation

Eikendal Classique

With the Eikendal Classique, the renowned wine estate from Stellenbosch presents a masterful Bordeaux-style cuvée. The combination of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot produces a complex yet supple red wine of great elegance.The nose is dominated by aromas of blue and black berries, accompanied by earthy notes, fine spice and delicate oak. On the palate, the wine is powerful, precise and balanced. A fresh, lively acidity and fine-grained tannins contribute to the structural depth, while red and black fruits and subtle roasted aromas ensure a lingering taste experience.The grapes come exclusively from the best plots of the Eikendal vineyards on the Helderberg. The soil of weathered "Koffieklip" (coffee stone) and the careful foliage work ensure concentrated, aromatic grapes with depth and finesse. Each grape variety was fermented and matured separately before the final cuvée was assembled. The wine was aged for 18 months in French barriques (20% of which were new), which gives the wine additional structure and ageing potential.Enjoy this fine red wine at 18-20 °C - ideal with roast pork, côte de boeuf or mature hard cheese.A storage wine with depth that will give pleasure for up to 20 years.

Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay

The Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay is an exceptional white wine with a clear signature of the terroir. It comes from two small plots of old bush vines, high up on the Eikendal vineyard in Stellenbosch. The vines are deeply rooted in barren, weathered granite with intercalated gravel and white clay - soils that have been stripped of all organic matter. The south-easterly orientation of the rows of vines and the constant influence of the fresh sea breeze from False Bay create a cool microclimate that produces precise, elegant wines rich in finesse.The low yields of just 0.8 to 1 kg of grapes per vine are reflected in the enormous concentration and depth of the wine.The carefully hand-picked grapes were pressed as whole bunches, without prior clarification of the must. Half of the spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, while the other half was matured in a mix of 500-liter barrels made from new French oak (60%) and a granite amphora (40%) - a rare and purist approach in which granite ferments in granite. After 18 months of ageing without fining or filtration, the wine is completely natural and unadorned.In the glass, the Infused by Earth Chardonnay is complex and profound - with notes of citrus fruit, ripe stone fruit, roasted nuts and a hint of wet stone. The structure is powerful yet precise, carried by an invigorating acidity and a salty, almost chalky finish.Serve this multi-layered white wine at 10-12 °C with sophisticated dishes such as roasted turbot with beurre blanc, chicken in a lemon and herb marinade, or a fine vegetable tart with goat's cheese. Also ideal with grilled vegetables or dishes with white truffle oil.Eikendal Infused by Earth Chardonnay is a fascinating wine that uncompromisingly expresses the terroir of its origin - puristic, deep and unforgettable. A must for explorers and lovers of special white wines.

Thelema "The Mint"

Thelema The Mint comes from the Stellenbosch region in South Africa. The wine has a long tradition and is proven to be one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in the country.The origin of the "mint" character is attributed to the transfer of air from the eucalyptus trees bordering this particular Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard to the grapes. The outer wax layer of the berries adsorbs eucalyptol, a compound responsible for the aroma, which is released into the air by the trees. It then dissolves on the skins during the fermentation process, inevitably giving the wine a "minty" character that is unique to this vineyard. In the glass, the wine is a deep dark red. The nose is characterized by aromas of ripe red berries, cassis and dark chocolate. On the palate, a hint of mint complements the opulent overall impression. The wine has fine tannins with a long mocha finish.Maturing for 18 months in wooden barrels, with 40% new French oak and 60% older barrels, gives Thelema The Mint depth and longevity. Try this exceptional wine with roast lamb, for example.Make sure you get a few bottles, as the wine is already sold out from the winery.
