Matured in small French oak barrels for 12 months. Situated in Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's wine industry, lies the family cellar of Stellenrust. Here time honoured traditions and select wines have led to the family motto: "Where excellence meets winemaking".

This Shiraz was made from specially selected grapes from the year's ripe harvest.

All fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed to retain aroma and flavour.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels, which added greater weight and complexity.

This full-bodied wine shows freshly crushed black pepper aromas with hints of cinnamon and cloves on the nose with lots of brumbly red berry fruit and well-integrated vanilla tones.

Pinotage, a truly South African grape, originated from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.  The FAT Bastard Pinotage was made from specially selected grapes from our ripe harvest resulting in a wine which displays intense fruit flavour and character.

All fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed to retain these expressive aromas and flavours.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity.

The nose of this wine shows ripe plum and banana with a lingering impression of chocolate and plum pudding.
