About this Item

Where Mountains Meet - Red Blend, 2021
12 (2 x 6) 750ml

Straddled between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains, with less than 30 hectares of scattered high-altitude vineyards, Keermont was started by the Wraith family in 2003 and was formed by combining 2 adjacent farms. Relaxed yet quality-focused Alex Starey has been in charge of the wines since redevelopment and planting in 2005, producing the maiden 2007.

60% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

• Where Mountains Meet is a uniquely crafted blend of varieties grown on Keermont Vineyards. We ignored traditional blending ideology and married the best possible components to create a wine with depth, complexity and the upmost elegance.
• This is a blend of a barrel of each of our single vineyard parcels, namely Steepside Syrah, Topside Syrah, Pondokrug Cabernet Franc, and a drop of Cabernet Sauvignon to marry them all together.
• This wine was grown, produced, and bottled at Keermont Vineyards.
• Minimal intervention and traditional winemaking practices were used.
• A first time wine for Alex Starey on the CWG Auction.

Tasting Notes: A sweet floral nose with ripe red fruit and a hint of dustiness. The palate has a delicate entry with fresh acidity and a tight tannin structure, complementing the rich, complex array of berry flavours.

Ready for drinking from 2024 to 2036.
