Distell continues to shed vineyards with the sale of Stellenzicht Winery to Ernie Els Wines.

 

Stellenzicht recently released 3 new wines as part of the Speciality Range which includes the favourite Plum Pudding Hill Syrah to a make a flagship quartet of wines which jointly express the soils and terrain of Stellenzicht and the passion and skills of long-serving winemaker, Guy Webber.

 

Stellenzicht’s Golden Triangle Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon, both from the 2010 vintage, have been awarded gold medals at the 2013 Sélections Mondiales des Vins Canada.

 

RED ESCape, the recently-launched juicy red blend of Shiraz and Pinotage that turned heads with its digital-themed label, is now taking fans online with a great new game, spiced up with wine prizes.

 

Some claim – and Guy Webber of Stellenzicht is one of them – that the small area between the Stellenbosch and Helderberg mountains down to where the R44 runs between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, produces some of the very best wines in South Africa.

Flanked by the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains between Stellenbosch and the False Bay coast, lies an exceptional tract of land that is highly suited to the cultivation of quality wine grapes.
