OUR WINE

2018

SORGVRY

CINSAUT

Our 100% Cinsaut is derived from handpicked older dryland vines from Wellington. This robust red is naturally fermented with 30% whole bunch grapes, before being matured in older oak barrels and a cement egg for 12 months.

TASTING NOTES

Right on the nose, notes of red cherry and raspberry pop out and delight, while hints of fynbos and spice add an earthy touch. A punchy red with fresh fruit purity and acidity, our Sorgvry boasts lovely crunchy tannins with a chalky textured finish that lingers on the palate.

SKOONSKIP

PINOTAGE

Skoonskip, a cross between Pinot noir and Cinsaut (Hermitage), is soft on the palate and pleasantly fruity – quite unlike your regular, run-of-the-mill Pinotage! True to the Tempel Wines style, this ode to Pinot Noir and Cinsaut is enjoyably light at only 13% alcohol level. It was matured in French oak barrels (40% of which were new) for 12 months.

This is possibly our last Pinotage production – don’t miss out!

TASTING NOTES

This full and vibrant wine is deep crimson in colour, with a pleasing aroma of cloves, plums, red berries and sweet spice on the nose. Juicy, yet elegant, the soft tannins add a smooth, lingering finish.

OOGWINK

SHIRAZ

Oogwink, our 100% Shiraz, translates to “in the blink of an eye” – sexy & playful, just like this full-bodied red!
Matured for 12 months in French oak barrels (20% new oak) and a cement egg.

TASTING NOTES

Our Shiraz grapes are grown in the cooler Elgin region, lending this wine a complex nose with spicy undertones of fynbos and white pepper. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a complex tannic structure and a long finish.

Layers of red fruit and spices, with savoury notes in the background, gives you a balanced wine which can be enjoyed for several years to come.
