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:
“Dense purple hues with a vibrant purple edge – indicative of the wine’s youthful vibrance. The nose is filled with layered aromas of oak spice, cloves, a touch of cinnamon, liquorice, wild bramble, wild strawberry, plum, and blackberry fruit. The palate is seamless and effortlessly balanced, with good integration between fruit and oak. Despite the rich and concentrated flavours of blue- and blackberry fruit, the wine remains fresh and elegant. The finish is decidedly dry, with great length and spicy, clove-like edge and lingering flavours of sweet-and-sour cherry. Enjoy with venison Bourguignon.” – Winemaker
