Old Road Wine
The Old Road Wine Company was founded in the heart of the Franschhoek-Valley in South Africa. The winery is guided by a vision to create wines that reflect both the rich history and unique terroir of this renowned wine region. A particular focus is on producing quality wines that express the valley’s distinctive climate and soils.
Known for its diverse grape varieties, each is carefully selected and cultivated. Standout varieties include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, which highlight the quality of the white wines. Among the red wines, Pinotage, Shiraz and Pinot Noir.
The Old Road Wine Company combines tradition with modern winemaking techniques to produce wines of consistency and finesse.
The original series from Old Road Wine Co. celebrates the stories of the legendary characters who shaped the Franschhoek community in its early years. Far from being a crude implement, the simple axe becomes an instrument of refinement in the skilled hands of a trained artisan butcher. Similarly, the Winemakers have honed their skills in crafting this Cape blend.
The components of this artisanal Cape blend are Shiraz (60%), Pinotage (30%) and Mourvèdre (10%). The Shiraz comes from Stellenbosch, with a few barrels from Paarl, and all the Pinotage comes from Stellenbosch. All the vineyards are planted on weathered granite soils, which lend intensity and layers of texture. The Mourvèdre comes from a 16-year-old bush-vine vineyard in Agter Paarl. Mourvèdre is perfectly suited to bush-vine cultivation, as it gives the wine more body and weight than trellised vines. In the cellar, this blend is carefully aged for 14 months in oak, half in new barrels and the rest in second- and third-fill barrels. The result is a full-bodied, powerful and expressive wine with bold aromas of dark red fruit and Blackberry, along with notes of cigar box, cinnamon and spice on the nose. A wonderful match for grilled beef, mutton or game.
Generally, a must with meat.
