  • Goedhuis, March 2023

    Named after the stone axes discovered in the vineyard’s iron-rich soils that date from over 100,000 years ago, Oldenburg’s fresh, elegant ‘Stone Axe’ Syrah could appear in a blind tasting of Northern Rhone Syrah and never be caught out thanks to its cool granite terroirs. The 2020 is packed with soft red cherry and blue fruits plus iris, lavender, thyme and delicious white pepper. A small amount of whole bunch fermentation (18%) and maturation in a combination of Stockinger casks and smaller barrels, old and new, gives a gorgeous vivid fruit profile and well-judged spice, a glorious backdrop to the gleaming acidity and soft, powdery tannins. Only 750 cases produced. Drink 2023-2032.

  • Tim Atkin, March 2023, Score: 94

    The evocatively named Stone Axe Syrah hails from a single parcel on mixed granite and sandstone soils that was picked in four stages. Nic van Aarde used 30% whole bunches for texture and perfume here, producing a red with thyme and oregano aromas, gentle tannins, lots of zip and vibrancy and subtle oak. Very promising. Drink 2024-2030.

  • Greg Sherwood MW, March 2023, Score: 94

    Plenty of tarry, smoky black bramble berry fruits, olive, sweet black peppercorns, grilled herbs, cured meats and saline black berry fruits. Palate is super sleek and elegant with lovely intensity but light touch intensity, pristine purity and a weightless, savoury, spicy concentration with manicured tannins. Wonderfully characterful, classy and pure but beautifully classical. Very impressive.

Stellenbosch

An important region in South Africa, named after the beautiful town at its centre, it is the hub of viticultural activity and learning in the country. Only slightly warmer than Bordeaux, this is an ideal climate for grape growing, and produces many impressive Bordeaux blends, as well as Chenin Blancs.
