The governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, founded and gave his name to our hometown. A remarkable man who is also considered the father of our country’s wine heritage, we felt it fitting to name our Bordeaux style blend after him. The blend, made up of five varieties from various sites across Stellenbosch, represents a quintessential Stellenbosch red wine.

Rich black fruit is prominent on the nose, showing cassis and Black Forest Gateaux with sweet baking spices and walnuts. Concentrated black fruit follows through on the palate, where notes of cedar, cinnamon and cloves add complexity.
