            [ServingSuggestion] => Pair this wine with South African game with soft dark spices like cloves and
cinnamon, fresh pepper and spice balls. If the barbeque includes slightly sweet sauces,
try the Shiraz, but a strong cheese soufflé will make the knees go weak. End the
evening with a tiny block of dark chocolate – meaning skip the port. Marrow and
truffle are two richer foods that pair very well with Shiraz.
Cheese: Powerful cheeses such as young cheddar or gruyere, appenzeller, lancashire,
leiden, munster, certain parmesans, raclette, but NOT the soft white cheeses.

            [WineMakingNotes] => Grapes are hand harvested at 24.5 – 26.0 balling. Cold soak for two days before it is
inoculated with yeast. During fermentation colour/flavour extraction takes place with
regular pump-overs every six hours along with two to three manual punch downs of
the grape cap. A maximum temperature of 27°C is reached. On completion of
fermentation a further 10-14 days of extended skin maceration takes place before
pressing and barrelling in 225l French oak. Malolactic fermentation is completed in
barrel and further maturation takes place over 15 months.
45% 1st fill, 45% 2nd fill & 10 % 3rd fill barrel, tight and medium grain oak with
medium toasting 
96% French oak, 4% American oak.

I then returned to home ground and joined the winemaking team at Klein Constantia. In 2004 I was offered the opportunity of starting Anwilka wines in conjunction with Klein Constantia role-players and Bordeaux winemakers. The four invaluable years at Anwilka and my international experience gave me the confidence to start my own brand, and in 2008 I went solo. Since the very first vintage my focus has always been on two very diverse wine regions, namely Elim and the Swartland.

I currently live in Kommetjie, a quaint village on the Southern Peninsula, and make my wines just down the road in Noordhoek. Apart from everything wine-related. making, judging on various panels or just straightforward drinking, I also make time to surf whenever I get the opportunity.  I feel that the ocean recharges me, and teaches one patience and respect for nature.
