Founded in 2001 by Hugh Ryman, a pioneer in flying viticulture, VINARTUS bases itself on developing private labels and brands. Production is divided between South America (Chile and Argentina), Spain and France. Their mission is to create an enjoyable experience for those who work the land and those involved in producing the wine. They want their passion to be felt throughout the different branches of the company, creating a pioneering spirit that allows them to move further and faster. They vinify grapes sourced from a variety of different terroirs in the Languedoc, including cool-climate sites at higher elevations. The Grenache is cultivated in the Terraces of Pepieux while the Syrah vines make their home in the cooler parts of Carcassonne. The Orbiel River, and its tributaries (frères), runs near Carcassonne and Minervois.
Percheron Shiraz Mourvedre 2023
In the farthest flung corners of the Cape lie gnarly, old, national treasures – ancient vines once farmed with Percheron draft horses, both now a rare breed. Percheron Shiraz Mourvèdre celebrates this marriage of nature, capturing the rugged character of the Cape. Co-fermented from select plots across Swartland and Kasteelberg, it combines the bold, peppery intensity of Shiraz with the structured, savoury depth of Mourvèdre, and a whisper of Viognier for aromatic lift, producing a richly flavoured, vibrant, and deeply expressive wine.

The soil is mainly Malmsbury shale with loamy soil on the higher grounds and sandy loam lower down the slopes, interspersed with rich Hutton soils. The climate is perfect for viticulture with the low rainfall summer months, tempered by cool afternoon breezes and cold winters allowing the vines to rest and build up reserves. This wine is made of 70% Shiraz from the Riebeek Valley, co-fermented with 27% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier from the Kasteelberg slopes. During fermentation the skin cap is punched down multiple times a day to maximize extraction, resulting in a rich, dark wine packed with fruit and chocolaty notes and a big, savoury heart. Tasting notes Co-fermented Shiraz and Viognier interplay while the later addition of Mourvèdre adds depth and structure. Aromas suggest summer pudding, black cherries, and crushed raspberries, accented by aromatic spice and a subtle creaminess. On the palate, the peppery Shiraz and warm, spicy Mourvèdre combine in a ripe, juicy, and harmonious wine that finishes long and spicy. Food match A great partner to rich and savoury red meat dishes such as salt-marsh lamb, or a gutsy bean casserole. Grape Shiraz 70%, Mourvèdre 27%, Viogni
