Van Wyk Rebecca May

This wine is crafted to express delicate red fruit flavours such as raspberry and boysenberry. The bouquet develops encouraging floral notes of pressed violets and lavender. The whole-bunch fermentation lends additional freshness, structure, and persistence to the palate. Good balance with the perfect amount of fruit and grip to entice the senses on the finish.

The Van Wyk Family Vineyards. Justin, of Constantia Glen Winery fame, has spent the last six years working with select vineyards planted across the greater Western Cape. As for the inspiration behind his labels? 'The ram depicted on the label is a Merino ram, and the other elements such as the hills and windmill are typical Karoo elements. The three daffodils bring an element of colour to the logo and they signify the colour in my life, my wife and two daughters.' Van Wyk Family Vineyards is a highly anticipated endeavour - a specific interest in sourcing grapes from old vines, and when it comes to varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Cinsault; there are an abundance of old 'undiscovered' vineyards where the true potential of the grapes have not yet been realised. Besides being very selective about chosen vineyards and varieties, he aims to make honest and elegant wines that are expressive of nature, circumstance and his passion for the Cape’s heritage grape varieties.
