• All grapes on the estate are hand-picked. Once received in the cellar, the grapes are gently transferred by means of gravity to both stainless steel and cement vessels for fermentation. A period of cold soaking follows, which enables rich extraction of colour, elegant aromas and bright flavour. Extended maceration follows at the conclusion of fermentation, which assists in providing the wine with soft texture, increased colour intensity and complexity.
  • W.O. Western Cape – Bold, Complex, Barrel-Matured: The Survivor Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a bold expression of South African terroir—full-bodied, barrel-matured, and brimming with character. Deep garnet in colour, this wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries layered with subtle hints of aniseed, fynbos, and cedar spice. On the palate, you’ll find a generous core of dark fruit flavours, elegantly balanced by velvety tannins and just the right touch of oak. Notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans linger on a long, structured finish, delivering both richness and refinement in every sip. Crafted with care and matured in French oak barrels, this vintage is drinking beautifully now but has the structure to reward careful cellaring for up to 8 years. Pairs beautifully with: grilled ribeye, smoky barbecue dishes, or a rich lentil and mushroom stew. Cellaring potential: Enjoy now or age until 2029.
  • Franschhoek, South Africa – Limited Release (Only 2,410 Bottles Produced) The Stony Brook Cabernet Franc 2019, crafted in the shadow of the Dutoitskop Peak, is a rare and elegant expression of this noble varietal.  With only 2,410 individually numbered bottles released, this limited-edition vintage is a collector’s dream and a sommelier’s delight. In the glass, it reveals a deep crimson hue. Aromas of red peppercorn, wild Cape fynbos, and dark chocolate leap from the nose, leading into a palate that balances freshness with intensity. The bright entry gives way to layers of concentrated dark fruit and earthy spice, supported by firm, structured tannins and a long, dry finish. Hand-harvested and gently vinified, this wine spent 21 months maturing in second-fill French oak barrels to enhance complexity without overwhelming the fruit. A true reflection of Franschhoek terroir and artisanal winemaking. Serve with: rosemary-infused lamb chops, grilled eggplant parmigiana, or a herbed mushroom risotto. Ageing potential: Now to 2030.

Whether enjoyed now or cellared to further unlock its complexity, this Cabernet Sauvignon remains the cornerstone of Stark-Condé’s winemaking philosophy.
  • This maiden 2025 Twiswind vintage displays limey and zesty dynamics with fresh Granny Smith apple and peach skin aromas. The intense palate and textural aspects somehow dwarf the aromatics, as the wine is built up from the structural mouthfeel and tension of tannins. The acidity is firm, and this wine needs time .
  • This 2025 Treinspoor starts out with some darker graphite and dried fig aromas, transcending into violets and perfumes that transform into pencil lead aromas. It is one of the most lifted versions, and the purple hue also suggests a new definition of Tinta Barocca, or at least for us. The tannins are multi-layered and dense with a firm finish. This is an absolute block of a wine with a lingering forever taste. Please afford this wine time. 100% Tinta Barocca
  • This maiden 2025 Sonvang vintage displays Mediterranean rosemary and herbal aromas, tangled with bright red fruit. The wine is youthful and embryonic and hosts a slight perfect reduction that will carry it into the future. The powdery and firm tannins have class and elegance and are knotted and stitched together with the acidity to produce enormous length to the wine. This wine needs time, and we are delighted with this maiden release. Single-varietal Grenache (maiden vintage).
  • This 2025 Skurfberg vintage displays some riper tropical fruit alongside the usual Granny Smith apple fresh greener flavours. This vintage however, has some viscosity to it, balanced by a very bright and long acidity finish. This is a more linear version of the vineyard expression, and the wine should fill out with time in the bottle.
  • The 2025 Skerpioen displays peach and citrus flavours and a touch of tropical aspects, migrating to the trademark salty brine characteristics associated with this vineyard. This 2024 vintage has a slightly lower acidity than usual, and the aromatics suggest it can be enjoyed earlier. The Skerpioen is one of our white wines that are the first to be ready for enjoyment in our range of whites.
  • This 2025 Rotsbank bottling displays gunflint and seaweed aromas with tropical granadilla secondary flavours. There is a line of green tea, and the tannin dries out at the end of the palate. This year is marked by incredible length and elegance on the palate. It is one of the wines that can be slightly reduced and shy on release, and we recommend that the wine be allowed to aerate if opened early. It is a very linear and firm style of Chenin. .
  • In 2024, Palladius displays an incredibly bright colour for a wine from 24 months of ageing.

This vintage displays a lime zesty and green apple entry of aromatics and a line of salinity that stretches throughout. On the palate, the tannins present themselves incredibly refined and balanced, intertwined with fresh acidity and a long-lasting aftertaste. Potentially, the wine of the vintage!
