- Blend Composition: The Amphitheatre 2016 is typically a red blend. While the specific blend can vary, it often includes a combination of classic varietals such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. This blend aims to create a harmonious and multi-dimensional wine.
- Vineyard Sourcing: The grapes for Amphitheatre are sourced from specific vineyard sites within the Keermont estate. The vineyards are situated in the Stellenbosch region, which is known for its diverse terroirs and favorable growing conditions. The unique characteristics of these vineyards contribute to the wine’s complexity.
- Winemaking Techniques: The 2016 Amphitheatre is crafted using traditional winemaking methods. This typically involves fermentation in open-top tanks or barrels, with the wine then aged in French oak barrels. The aging process helps develop the wine’s depth and integrate its flavors.
- Tasting Notes: The 2016 vintage is expected to offer a rich and layered flavor profile. Common tasting notes include dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of spice, black pepper, and sometimes earthy or smoky undertones. The oak aging adds nuances of vanilla, toast, and subtle spice.

- Aging Potential: Given its structure and complexity, the Amphitheatre 2016 has good aging potential. It can continue to develop and evolve over several years, with its flavors integrating further and its tannins softening.

Sweetwater Syrah: Situated in a rocky valley below the Fleurfontein spring, this is the coolest of the three Syrah sites and ripens the latest. Sweetwater Syrah is normally lighter and elegant in style with a herbal aroma. We add a small percentage of Mourvedre to this to bring some extra tannin structure and complexity.Vinification:All grapes used in producing our wines are grown on Keermont Vineyards. Small parcels of grapes are specifically selected according to ripeness, harvested by hand, and vinified separately. This process is carried out gently and naturally in open top fermenters using traditional methods only. This wine spent 20 months maturing in seasoned 500 and 225 litre French oak barrels before being bottled by hand on 27 November 2019. We produced 13074 bottles and 98 magnums.
Keermont Syrah 2018 has a bright blood red colour with a lighter hue. The bouquet is enticing with strawberries and other red fruit and notes of sandal wood, tea leaf, cloves, and orange rind. The wine has a gentle entry onto the palate. It exudes vibrant flavours of cherry and raspberry, complimented by savoury spice, and a vanilla note. A soft, but tight tannin structure and good natural acidity keep the flavours focused into a tidy succulent finish. Drink 2023-2033.
