It was due to these conditions and the seemingly hydrophobic podsolic soils that the vines struggled to become established.

In 2005 when the former Southcorp winery in Yenda became available, Bob and Cherie joined with Jamie Bennett, Paul Bartholomaeus and James Ceccato to form Berton Vineyards the company. The winery was purchased and the guys moved to their new home in November 2005. For the next few months they were kept busy buying up fruit and arranging contact crushing for the 2006 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World. Though genetically identical, the stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah are pronounced enough to consider them distinct varieties. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and is virtually synonymous with wine regions such as the Barossa Valley. There has been tangible shift in the way much Australian Shiraz is made, with cool-climate styles coming into their own and complexity gaining ground over the sheer power of the wines made last century.

Bewildered by its quality in a region better known for its wheat and rolling fynbos hills, the potential was obvious, so Charles set forth to acquire the farm and study its soils and extreme climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Back was a pioneer in the Swartland when he started Spice Route in 1998. “Without \u003ccharles\u003e, the Swartland would still be regarded as a rural backwater” wrote Tim Atkin. Today, the region is the source of many of South Africa’s outstanding wine, yet Spice Route remains one of the best and most credible producers in the region, due largely to the fact that they own their own vineyards. Spice Route’s 100 hectares of vineyards are situated in Malmesbury and Darling. The former, all bush trained on Malmesbury shale and red clay subsoils (the clay ensures the vineyards are dry grown), give the Grenache and Mourvedre the intensity of fruit that makes this region so exciting.\u003c\/charles\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Charl du Plessis has been with Charles for 15 years, and knows the region intricately. The winemaking is ‘hands off’, as Charl is keen to capture the flavours and structure of the outstanding fruit he has grown. The signature wine is the Chakalaka, a blend of six different grape varieties. The name is derived from a spicy South African relish which is similarly a fusion of different flavours. A blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Petite Sirah and Tannat, it has good intensity, a Rhone-ish depth and supple tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was hand-harvested and the grapes were destalked and lightly crushed. All fruit was fermented in open concrete fermenters. Manual punch downs were carried out during fermentation. The wines were racked and put in barrel for malolactic fermentation and further ageing. The components matured in seasoned French and American oak for 12 months before blending and further maturation of the final wine in the same old oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.spiceroutewines.co.za\/\"\u003espiceroutewines.co.za\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpice Route Chakalaka - Hay Wines\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hays Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40652253528254,"sku":"SASW360513","price":26.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6009\/9006\/products\/SA-Spice-Route-Chakalaka.jpg?v=1653484835"},{"product_id":"one-chain-the-wrong-un-shiraz-cabernet","title":"One Chain The Wrong Un Shiraz Cabernet 2024","description":"\u003ch4\u003eOne Chain The Wrong Un Shiraz Cabernet\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Chain The Wrong Un Shiraz Cabernet is a rich, well balanced example of the Aussie classic blend.

Recognizing that the soil and climate were ideal for growing grapes, they began to plant varieties that included Zinfandel, Tokay, Carignane, and Alicante. For over one hundred years, the family has cultivated the land with the aim of producing top quality fruit.

In the late 1980’s, drip irrigation was introduced, providing the ability to control the amount of water applied to each vine. This resulted in the ability to control the vigor of the vine, healthier fruit and ultimately, lower yields. With the introduction of more sophisticated vineyard practices, including shoot thinning, leaf pulling, color thinning and the removal of a second crop, the ability to produce the grapes of exceptional quality was realized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the extended Felten Family includes their winemaker, Barry Gnekow, who is responsible for crafting the wines from the inaugural vintage.

Their association with wine began in the 1920’s when France was assigned the League of Nations mandate for Syria, which at the time included Lebanon. During this time Gaston Hochar started producing his ‘wines with noblesse’ which were so good that they greatly impressed senior officers in the French army.
