Chris Williams is the winemaker behind The Foundry. This label was established in 2001, Chris made the first vintage at Joostenberg Wines in an old farm workshop that became affectionately known as “The Foundry”. He made a single Stellenbosch Syrah in that first year and has slowly added wines over the next decade and a half to end up with five wines in the range. Up until 2019 the wines were made at Meerlust where Chris was also the head winemaker. As of vintage 2020 he has moved fulltime into The Foundry, based on the Voor-Paardeberg next to the Grenache Blanc vineyard.

Region: Stellenbosch
Tasting note:
“On the nose, peach, floral perfume and a subtle herbal note while the palate shows concentrated fruit, zippy acidity and a dry finish. Full but balanced, this has a winning sweetness about it, a residual sugar of 3.7g/l adding nice weight. Alcohol, meanwhile, is 13.43%, total acidity is 6.1g/l and pH 3.53.” – CE
