Stellenview Great Five Reserve Cape Premier Red 2019

Stellenview Premium Wines is picturesquely situated on the northernmost hills of the Devon Valley in Stellenbosch. In this area, the South African wine-growing region of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, South African wines of outstanding quality and elegance have been produced since 1659. Stellenview Premium Wines has taken advantage of the unique microclimatic conditions of the Devon Valley. The warm winds from the Atlantic Ocean provide a warming effect during cooler weather periods, making frost virtually unheard of. On dry summer days, the pleasant winds simultaneously provide a cooling effect that prevents heat build-up in the vineyards. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of up to 270 metres above sea level, making them some of the highest in the whole of Stellenbosch. Although yields are lower at higher altitudes, the vines benefit greatly from the more intense sunlight and the good water-holding capacity of the soil, and develop small berries that delight with their special concentration of flavour and intense aroma. Under the direction of Reino Kruger, Devon Valley produces some of the Cape's best and most highly prized Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, Pinotages and Sauvignon Blancs. Their strategy of selecting only the best grapes grown in Stellenbosch has brought Stellenview Premium Wines numerous national and international awards in recent years. The labels of the wines pay homage to South Africa and the country's fascinating wildlife.
