Winery Story

n 1685, Martin Pouisseon, a French Huguenot refugee from religious persecution, was granted a farm by the Dutch authorities at the Cape. He ... (more...)named it “Slent.” The meaning of the name is unknown, but we think it possibly is an old form of “slant” or “aslant” as the farm is situated on the lower slopes of Perdeberg (Horse Mountain, named for the large herds of zebra that once roamed its hillsides and valleys). The soul of Africa resides at Slent, at the foot of the Perdeberg. Nature offers thrilling golden red sunsets that encompass the mountain. It also offers you unbelievable surprises, like finding a family of baboons delighting in our Shiraz grapes.

Tasting Note

A straw appearance with excellent varietal expressions. Very intense aromas, which range from country hay, floral, tropical fruit and aprico... (more...)ts to spice. Plenty of ripe fruit flavors. The hints of residual sugar are well balanced by acidity. Intense rounded mouthfeel, ripe pear opulence, long finish. Fresh.
