Eenzaamheid is situated in the Agter-Paarl area of South Africa’s Western Cape. The name of the farm is Dutch for ‘solitude’, and refers to its isolation from Cape Town, when it was named in 1693. The Briers-Louw family have been the capable custodians of this beautiful property for over 180 years and have developed the farm into a multi-faceted enterprise including grapes, cattle, sheep, and wheat. Janno Briers-Louw, 7th generation farmer, produces award winning, handcrafted wines from the old dryland vineyards. Less than 15% of South Africa’s vineyards are currently farmed without irrigation, as not all terroirs are suitable for the dryland cultivation of wine grapes. The Mediterranean climate and deep shale soils of the Agter-Paarl region are reflected in the unique character of these distinctive wines.

Tasting note:
“This wine exhibits a lighter colour that hints at its delicate nature. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of red fruits, including fresh raspberry, strawberry, and cherry. The palate is vibrant and expressive, with the red fruit profile continuing to shine through. The wine’s texture is silky, with fine, well-integrated tannins that add structure without overwhelming the palate. Its refreshing acidity enhances the bright fruit flavours, making for a balanced and elegant wine. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of red berries and a touch of spice. The perfect pairing with Springbok carpaccio.” – Winemaker
