Anwilka Red Wine
Anwilka is one of the most compelling estates to emerge from Stellenbosch , situated in the prime Helderberg ward of South Africa . The vineyards enjoy a pronounced maritime influence from nearby False Bay, where cooling summer breezes preserve freshness and extend the growing season. Planted across 39 hectares of iron-rich Koffieklip soils, this is a wine of genuine terroir and structural ambition.

Malolactic fermentation is carried out in either new French oak barrels or in tank, followed by 19 months of ageing in 400-litre French oak barrels, split equally between first-fill and second-fill. Tasting Notes Bright ruby in colour with a deep, luminous core. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of red fruits, oak spice and white pepper.

Firm yet elegant tannins provide structure, while the texture is beautifully rounded, culminating in a long, rich and age-worthy finish. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for rich, slow-cooked dishes. Try it with venison casserole, braised short rib, roasted lamb shoulder or a classic Beef Wellington. Also excellent alongside aged h
