‘These slatey, ocean-influenced vineyards lie 230km from Cape Town at the mouth of the Breede River in very new wine territory - in fact, the Malgas Wine of Origin designation was created especially for Sijnn. Made by De Trafford, a new winery was built on the property in time for this 2015 vinatge. Sijnn – a Khoisan name – is pronounced Seine, but this Chenin is anything but French in style. With 23% Viognier and 3% Roussanne in the mix, this is a lovely fruity character. It is unfiltered and made in an oxidative style from low-yielding, young bush vines, with well-integrated oak and ripe yellow fruit and exotic spices. Unique.’ - Tina Gellie, Decanter, 92/100
‘A top note of dried herbs before citrus, peach and some leesy complexity. Good weight with coated acidity and a savoury finish. Has breadth and depth – full of exotic flavour.’ - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100

| Producer information | David Trafford's Sijnn project is based in Malgas along the Breede River. Forty kilometres away from any other vineyards, it's tremendously rocky soil and Breede River-influenced microclimate is unlike any other in South Africa. These unfiltered, unfined, real wines are made in tiny volumes and speak of Malgas' amazing terroir. |
