This is one of our top picks! A beautiful Syrah, incredibly complex, intense, yet with lovely soft tannins. Loads of dark fruit, spices and a bit of an earthy note too. All the stuff you want in a great Shiraz.
Another simply sublime release from this boutique wine producer. The combination of mountain slope and valley floor terroir makes Stark-Conde’s Stellenbosch range beautifully balanced and complex. Soft tannin structures and beautiful dark fruit are complimented by a hint of mint and tobacco.

Stark-Conde is a family owned business headed up by winemaker, marketer and insightful tasting room host, Jose Conde. He is a self taught winemaker, converting an interest and passion of the subject into superb wine making skills, aided by a dose of stubbornness and “can do” attitude!
The family farm, Oude Nektar, is tucked up the Jonkershoek Valley and the vineyards are nestled on high south facing slopes, with dramatic views down the valley to Stellenbosch and Cape Town in the distance. Jose uses traditional hands on wine making techniques and works very carefully in the vineyard to ensure top quality grapes and minimum interference in the cellar. The results are very special.
Loving these wines!
