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
‘Poor, rocky, shale and quartz-based soils supply the grapes for this plush, dense, massively appealing Shiraz, with lots of scented oak, sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit, violet top notes and savour, well-defined tannins. Drink 2018-23.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100
‘As rich in local & international awards as in ripe, rather sweet power - expressed with usual element of refinement in 2015. Lovely supple tannin structure, plenty of French oak (85% new, 20 months) & 14.7% alcohol add a turbo boost. Big, bold & rewarding.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (92/100)
