Wines
Our core range includes our Sijnn Red Blend and Sijnn White blend. More recently we started bottling straight varietals separately. These have been received very well and the range now includes a Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional, among other limited edition bottles.
Sijnn Red
Flagship blend of mostly
Mediterranean varieties. Matured for 2 years in 700l French oak barrels. Medium deep red.
Slate, wild berries, herbs, and a spicy leafiness on the nose.
Soft, though quietly substantial
palate with real complexity. Drink 5 to 15 years.
Ideal with hearty casseroles or grilled meat.
Sijnn Varietal Series & Other
At Sijnn, beyond our classic blends, we are always experimenting in our cellar. In recent years, we've introduced varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier and Syrah into the rocky shale soil. The result is always a wine that stands out from the crowd. As we produce wines in limited quantities, not all previous vintages are available.
​
Our soils
Most of the Sijnn vineyards are based on soils with a combination of these alluvial deposits on the Bokkeveld shale base – balancing intensity and structure with aromatic complexity and finesse. These very poor, complex soils encourage a deep root system, and low growth and low yield giving rise to intense, complex wines of great individual character.
