The Allesverloren vineyards creep up the imposing Kasteelberg in the picturesque Riebeek Valley of the Swartland, the vineyards ranging from 170m above sea level to well over 350m. The farm which dates back to 1704 began producing wine in 1804. |

| The nose opens with layers of blackcurrant compote, ripe plum, and a whisper of dried rosemary. Hints of pencil shavings and cedar unfold alongside notes of tobacco leaf and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full and smooth, with finely grained tannins supporting a core of black fruit and savoury spice. A subtle grip and freshness carry through to a long, elegant finish marked by traces of graphite and clove. Mostly older barrels are used for maturation of this wine for 18 months in fine French oak. |
