Anwilka Vineyards is located just 7 kilometres from the ocean in Stellenbosch's prime Helderberg region. The property was purchased in the late 1990s and extensive replanting of 40ha of vineyards comprising primarily cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and some merlot followed. The then owners, Lowell Jooste (the former co owner of Klein Constantia) along with internationally well known Bordeaux wine personalities Hubert de Bouard (co-owner of Chateau Angelus in Saint Emilion) and Bruno Prats (former owner of Chateau Cos d'Estournel in Saint- Estephe) released the eponymous maiden vintage blend of Syrah-Cabernet in 2005. Anwilka has since established a worldwide reputation for this red blend which has been described by Robert Parker as "the finest red wine I have ever had from South Africa."
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color. Aromas of red cherries and dark fruit give way to a light oak spice. Gentle and smooth upon entry, the palate is medium to full bodied with well structured tannins. The wine is fresh and vibrant concluding with a lengthy finish. The perfect accompaniment to most red meat dishes as well as roasted beef and confit duck. Approachable now but will mature gracefully up to 5 years from vintage.
