R320
‘Reborn under a new label - it used to be called Silhouette - this is the best red wine in Breedekloof, made from a stylishly judged cuvée of mostly Syrah with 62% Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Fermented with 30% whole clusters, it has aromas of lavender and wild thyme, complex red berry, meat and black olive flavours and layered, savoury, tobacco leaf tannins. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 95/100

| Producer information | Olifantsberg is located in the Brandwacht Mountain Range overlooking the Breedekloof valley. This location experiences dramatic temperature differences within a day and the summer and winter climates help to ensure slow ripening of the grapes which in turn contribute to fresh and elegant wines. The winemaker, Elizma Visser, joined Olifantsberg in 2015 and is focused on following a natural, sustainable farming approach. Simple techniques are used in the winemaking, traditional oak casks and foudres are used, and where possible the grapes are naturally fermented which aids in a lower alcohol and sulphur content in the wines. |
