Stellenzicht - Thunderstone Red 2023

Stellenzicht Thunderstone Red is a rich and approachable Stellenbosch red blend, crafted to showcase the generous fruit, balance and structure for which the region is renowned. Inspired by the ancient granite soils that underpin the vineyards, this wine offers a contemporary expression of South African winemaking with depth, elegance and exceptional drinkability.

Deep ruby in colour, the nose reveals inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries and plums, layered with subtle notes of cedar, sweet spice and a touch of cocoa.

The palate is smooth and beautifully rounded, with concentrated dark fruit, supple tannins and vibrant acidity that provide freshness and balance. Hints of black pepper and gentle oak add complexity, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

A versatile food companion, Stellenzicht Thunderstone Red pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roast lamb, barbecued meats, slow-cooked beef dishes, hearty pasta, and mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar for a few years to reveal even greater depth and complexity.
