About this Item
David and Rita Trafford discovered the future Sijnn land while on holiday in Malgas in 2000. The soil and landscape reminded them of Portugal and they were immediately intrigued. A purchase agreement and more than 200 soil profiles later, approximately ten hectares of vines were planted and the name Sijnn Wines was appropriated to the venture – fittingly so as the word 'sijnn' is derived from the Khoisan word meaning riverbank. Today Sijnn Wines has become well known for our interesting and bold choices of cultivars and award-winning blends.
Flagship blend of mostly Mediterranean varieties.
Critics Ratings
‘Shiraz/Mourvèdre with dabs Touriga, Trincadeira and Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 has smoky dark fruit, black pepper; herbal notes give a piquant lift. Fresh and lively but can age.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
‘This pumps along, with blueberry, loganberry and plum notes, while hints of loam, anise and brown bread fill in the background. Lush yet defined through the finish, presenting a lovely echo of iron. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Cabernet Sauvignon.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2014)
