All the grapes are meticulously sourced from Stellenbosch and the Elgin Valley. Elgin offers a very cool climate at an altitude of 350m above sea level and is optimal for premium Sauvignon Blanc production. Each block is specifically grown to complement the style of this premium white blend. Before fermentation, a lot of effort is put into preserving the natural fruit flavours and especially the natural acidity to ensure freshness and length. The cultivars are then fermented at 12 ̊C-15 ̊C in stainless steel tanks and spends two months on the gross lees before the components are blended and bottled.

Grapes are sourced from ideal vineyards around the Stellenbosch area. Eikendal has dedicated growers who work closely with our winemaker, Nico Grobler, to ensure optimal quality and varietal excellence. Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness to ensure fruit intensity and good structure. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel fermenters.

The Eikendal Shiraz – Petit Verdot 2018 is an accessible, medium bodied wine perfect for everyday drinking. On the nose, hints of spiciness, tobacco and plump dark berries await. On the palate, there is a freshness combined with a fruitiness which leads to a clean and soft finish.

All three cultivars are handpicked and cooled down. After fermentation the wine is allowed to settle clean. Shiraz and Petit Verdot go into 500l old Burgundian barrels and the Sangiovese will be blended into the previous vintage Charisma – meaning, for example, in Charisma 2018 the Shiraz and Petit Verdot are 2018 vintage but the Sangiovese is the 2019 vintage. The idea with this is to blend that beautiful freshness and Italian passion into the wine. Shiraz and Petit Verdot are aged for 12 months before blending and bottling.

The Charisma 2018 is an ingenious creation at the hand of Cellar Master, Nico Grobler, inspired by his travel experiences across the globe. The Shiraz (Rhône Valley) lends a tight, fresh structure with aromatic and seasoned undertones. Petit Verdot (Bordeaux) contributes a rich berry character and the Sangiovese, in true Italian style, adds fruity flavours with flair on the palate.

Pair with Mushroom & Chorizo Risotto, Veal, Chocolate Truffles. Serve 18-20°c.
