THE WINE
One for the big bold red crowd. A generous extraction of Syrah from the incrdeasingly hot Bot river. Fermented in open top vessels with regular punchdowns followed by ageing in new and old oak barrels.
THE PEOPLE
Formerly 'flying winemakers' working across France, Chile, New Zealand, Australia and Greece, Niels and Penny returned to their native South Africa to settle in the Bot River valley to produce wines with a simple premise - dont mess around with the grapes.
Consistently generous in their approach, the wines are bold expressions of this hot climate aged in a mixture of oak barrels (old and new French and Hungarian) for years to relax tannins and increase the mouthfeel of the finished wines.
THE PLACE
Bot River, in South Africa’s Walker Bay region, has become a rising source of characterful, terroir-driven wines that balance coastal freshness with inland warmth. The area’s shale and quartz-rich soils, along with cooling maritime influences from nearby Walker Bay, produce wines with natural tension and energy—whether the refined, textured Chenin Blancs and Chardonnays, or the vibrant, savoury Syrahs and blends the region is known for. A strong community of independent, often low-intervention producers has helped shape Bot River’s reputation for authenticity and craftsmanship. The wines tend to show purity, lifted aromatics, and a distinctive mineral edge, making Bot River one of South Africa’s most exciting and quietly influential wine regions.
