In the heart of South Africa’s Stellenbosch, Stark-Condé produces wines that elegantly express the region’s unique terroir, and the Three Pines Syrah 2019 is a standout. Known for its beautiful balance and depth, this Syrah encapsulates both the vineyard’s lush setting and the artful precision that goes into every bottle.

Tasting Notes: A Sip of Elegance

The Three Pines Syrah 2019 opens with aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and a hint of violet – a hallmark of its high-altitude origins and cool climate. On the palate, you’ll enjoy layers of dark fruit, peppery spice and soft, earthy undertones.

This wine has fine, integrated tannins, offering both richness and elegance. The finish is long, with a lingering touch of spice and floral notes that leave a memorable impression.

Perfect Pairings: Elevate Your Culinary Experience

Three Pines Syrah pairs beautifully with rich, flavourful dishes. Here are some ideas to enhance its tasting profile:

• Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary: The Syrah’s peppery and fruity notes complement the lamb’s savoury, earthy flavours.
• Beef Bourguignon: A classic pairing that harmonizes with the wine’s body and spice, balancing the richness of the stew.
• Roasted Vegetables with Thyme and Garlic: A vegetarian-friendly option that highlights the Syrah’s earthy undertones while adding a savoury herb twist.
• Pro Tip: Try it with a dark chocolate dessert. The wine’s spice and fruit contrast with the chocolate’s bitterness, making for a delightful finale.

About the Winemaker: The Stark-Condé Legacy

Nestled in the Jonkershoek Valley, Stark-Condé is a family-run winery, renowned for its commitment to quality and small-batch production. Founded by Hans and Marie Stark, the winery is now led by their grandson, José Condé, who brings both a passion for winemaking and an artist’s touch to each vintage. José’s meticulous approach is apparent in the Three Pines Syrah, which showcases the best of Jonkershoek’s terroir, producing wines with elegance, intensity, and structure.

The Three Pines range is cultivated from select high-altitude vineyards, a choice that enables the grapes to mature slowly, developing complex flavours and maintaining vibrant acidity. Every sip of Three Pines Syrah reflects this labour of love, each bottle capturing the rugged beauty of Stellenbosch.
