60% Ceres Plateau, 40% Stellenbosch (Polkadraai)
A perfect marriage between the high-altitude Syrah of Ceres Plateau, known for its delicate fruit and spice expression and the more opulent Polkadraai Syrah, known for its intense white pepper character. Maraschino cherries, red berry fruits with nuanced spice and white pepper notes. Layers of intensity packaged on a succulent palate with grippy tannins and a delicate but firm structure. Drinking well young and will age beautifully.
Winemaker: Gavin Slabbert
ANALYSIS: Alc. 13.5 % | RS 1.7 g/l | pH 3.69 | TA 5.0 g/l
A successful craft beer business, started by friends, inevitably lead to some delicious wine.
In 2011 Dan Badenhorst, the Dr, and entrepreneur friend Russell Boltman started Devil’s Peak Beer Co. They secured the expertise of JC Steyn, who was at the time making wine, to become their brewer. The three gents of course share the love for good wine, fast forward to 2023 and the search for grapes and winemakers to collaborate with kicked off.
The maiden release of Dr Good Vine is from the 2023 harvest with Pinot Noir and a White Blend from Elgin, and a Syrah with fruit from Polkadraai and Ceres Plateau.
