The Wine

Country of origin:

South Africa

Region:

Western Cape

This Shiraz came from dry-farmed, old vineyards in the Riebeek Valley, close to the sleepy town of Riebeek Kasteel. It's another top-quality effort from Ben and his talented team (although he admittedly has an amazingly high-quality battery of vineyards at his disposal). To create added complexity and texture, Ben introduced a little oak to a proportion of this wine, and it seriously pays off.

The Winemaker

Ben Snyman
Winemaker:

Ben Snyman

Ben Snyman graduated with a degree in viticulture and oenology in 2009 at the University of Stellenbosch. The following year, he did a harvest season at Chalk Hill in the renowned Sonoma Valley in California, where he says he accumulated immeasurable experience. He's also done harvests at Vrede en Lust, Boschendal and a range of other prestigious estates. Snyman was appointed winemaker at Overhex Private Cellar in 2010. Last year, he was promoted to head winemaker at the cellar, which is part of Overhex Wines International.

"The grapes for this wine come from family-owned, venerable old vines capable of producing exceptional quality fruit." - Ben Snyman, Winemaker.
