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.

Region: Agter-Paarl
Tasting note:
“The wine has an inviting dense, ruby-red colour. Cascading aromas of white pepper, mixed spices, game meat, charcuterrie and Fynbos shrub are further complemented by aromatic scents of raspberry, blueberry and hedgerow fruits. The palate entry is utterly refined, with fine, granular tannins adding beautiful “behind-the-scenes” support for the bold black- and red fruit spectrum. The oak is well integrated and allows the fruit to take centre stage, and the wine has sufficient acidity to keep all the elements in check and in balance. The finish is decidedly dry, with persisting notes of raspberry tart, fruit pastilles and fine herbs. Enjoy with lamb shank and osso buco.” – Winemaker
