About this Item
Nestled at the foot of the mountain after which it is named, Saronsberg wine estate is a contemporary addition to the rich heritage of Tulbagh valley. A consistent level of excellence since the outstanding 2004 vintage has annually earned Saronsberg a notable collection of awards and accolades, while the unwavering commitment to producing wines of such quality helped Dewaldt Heyns earn membership of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild in late 2007.
Critics Ratings
'Depth, complexity and power combine in sensational 2016; Shiraz with Grenache, Mourvèdre and 1% Viognier - the last evident in peachy perfume and lingering finish. As 2015 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), weighty but still agile, commanding but balanced, muscular but not chunky, the all-new oak unobtrusive.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 5* (95 pts)
'Now on allocation because of its impressive success, both with critics and in the market place, this brilliant blend of Shiraz with Grenache, Mourvèdre and Viognier is ripe, intense and powerful, with sandalwood, blackberry and apricot skin notes, fine tannins, balancing acidity and considerable palate length. 2020-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
