About this Item

Alex Starey - Keermont Vineyards

A 1.5 litre bottle of Keermont Vineyards Amphitheatre 2017

This large-format magnum of Keermont Amphitheatre 2017 marks the third release of this flagship red blend, a wine that reflects both the dramatic topography of the farm and the ongoing evolution of winemaker Alex Starey’s style. Named after the natural amphitheatre formed by the towering peaks surrounding the estate, this wine captures the rugged beauty and complexity of its origins.

Following the benchmark 2015 vintage and the more challenging 2016, the 2017 Amphitheatre stands out for its refined structure, rich savoury fruit, and precise balance. Expect layered notes of dark berries, spice, and hints of baked pudding, supported by firm yet elegant tannins—hallmarks of a wine built to reward extended cellaring.

This magnum is not only a statement piece for any collector’s cellar but also a testament to the excellence of Stellenbosch mountain-grown reds. The label is a bespoke creation by local artist Rentia Retief, adding a unique artistic touch to this special bottling.
