Damascene Estate
Damascene est un projet lancé en 2018 par le vigneron Jean Smit, qui, après avoir acquis des expériences dans des vignobles à l'étranger a décidé de revenir en Afrique du Sud. Il y a donc acquis de nombreux vignobles autour du Cape, de très grande qualité et certains parmi les plus vieux plantés en Afrique du Sud. Les vins sont vinifiés à Elgin, où les transferts se font exclusivement par gravité, et où les cuves sont conçues de manière à maintenir le chapeau de marc immergé, évitant ainsi toute manipulation superflue, permettant au vin de s'exprimer naturellement. Les blancs sont pressés en grappes entières, puis fermentés et élevés en foudres de 1 000 litres, tandis que les rouges sont vinifiés en vendanges entières et principalement élevés en foudres de 2 000 litres. La philospohie derrière Damascene est de raconter l'histoire, non pas des propriétaires ou des tendances du marketing, mais des vignobles eux-mêmes.

"Flavor and power in this exceptional South African wine!"

"The 2021 Syrah Swartland comes from predominantly schist soils. The bouquet is more powerful and floral than that of the Stellenbosch, with crushed iris flowers and peonies complementing scents of black plum and white pepper. The medium-bodied palate has more grip than Stellenbosch. It almost resembles a Cornas, with notes of black olive on the saline finish. This is Syrah with guts without compromising its elegance. 2025-2045" (Vinous 2023)

"Highlighting terroir and grape variety in a wine changes everything! Praised by the Wine Advocate!"

"Exceptionally impressive with its floral and herbaceous notes, the Cederberg Syrah 2021 offers a hint of reduction that keeps the expression in a tight frame. Medium-bodied, it has a certain firmness on the palate that will require a little more time to relax. If you drink it young, enjoy it with food, and I recommend decanting at least an hour before drinking. This is an absolutely impressive Syrah that exudes a sense of place and varietal character. I can see where he's going with this, and your patience will be rewarded. Well done! 2025-2042" (Robert Parker 2023)

"An aromatic 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, to drink or keep for years!"

"The Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2020 has gorgeous oak aromas with fresh red fruit nuances. It's spicy with notes of cranberry skin and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate offers a firm, rocky minerality that will need another year in bottle to blossom, but has good backbone and is made to last. A great success! 2024-2040" (Robert Parker 2023)
