Wine from Hermon
Filter
Hermon is a small wine region located in South Africa and is 4,101 feet above sea level. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Hermon, the region still has most of the natural vegetation intact with a boutique wine industry that is gaining an excellent reputation.
Hermon is a tiny village and is one of four towns in the Riebeek Valley. Near Riebeeck Kasteel, Hermon is a popular destination for tourism with its olive groves and vineyards.
When apartheid ended in February of 1990, South Africa has been welcomed back on the world stage and is a major wine producer. The Western Cape plays host to 18 wine routes with some of them being the most beautiful on the planet.
Wine production goes back hundreds of years and was brought to the area by the French who left their homeland in droves during the mid 1600’s. Jan van Riebeeck planted the first vineyard in South Africa shortly afterward.
The semi-arid climate is classified as mid-latitude dry and enjoys a subtropical biozone. The soil has a loamy sand texture and is high in arenosols. Wines produced in the South Cape are bio-diverse thanks to the microclimates that are created by the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

The 2021 vintage displays remarkable intensity in the glass with dark, inky ruby-purple hues. Abundant fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry jam and black currant are interwoven with accents of baking spices, sage and graphite. A voluminous entry introduces sumptuous layers of chocolate-covered blueberry, tobacco, mocha, vanilla and toasted oak. The mouthfeel is concentrated and elegant, with round, vibrant tannins that carry into a commanding finish. A wine of immense staying power that will evolve favorably for many years to come.
96-98 Points by Robert Parker
Review:
Extremely dark in the glass, it starts with heavily spiced aromas of vanilla, mocha and walnut cream that balance the rich black cherry and roasted berry fruits. The palate's tannins are immensely grippy yet expertly polished, framing flavors of loam, black olive and graphite.

Oumsiyat Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Intense aromas of luscious tropical fruit notes of ripe peach and pineapple are refreshingly balanced on the palate through to a clean and zesty finish.
RS: 2 g/L
The Chardonnay grapes were sorted prior to vinification to ensure the fruit was healthy and ripe. The grapes were then pressed, and the must was racked to stainless steel fermentation tanks, where the must was fermented at 14 to 16°C with selected yeasts. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation to maintain the crisp, fresh style. The wine rested on its fine lees for three months adding texture and subtle complexity before being gently filtered and bottled.
