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.

Faust The Pact Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot.
Dark, exotic spice-with star anise in the lead—opens on a complex nose layered with sweet tobacco, savory herb and olive notes, and a lovely vein of graphite minerality under briar-kissed blueberry. The palate is electric, its deceptive power couched in chalky, tight-knit cannins. Black raspberry joins blueberry, with wet slate and soil-driven, iron-rich minerality spilling into a long, perfectly balanced finish, serious and hedonistic at once.
Review:
So many graphite and pencil shaving aromas here with blue fruits. Slate and tar undertones. Black and red currants. Some ash. Medium-bodied with open grained tannins. So much iron and rust with lead and mussel shell. Then turns to pine cone and cedar. Really complex and flavor intensive. Love to drink it now as a young wine. This evolves all the time. It will age beautifully. Better in three to five years. But I can’t wait.

Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz is made from 100 percent Shiraz.
Jip Jip Rocks wine is synonymous with premium wines from South Australia’s Padthaway wine region. The vineyard is planted in some of the world’s oldest mineral rich soils and in the most temperate of maritime climates. The Jip Jip Rocks vineyard consistently produces excellent fruit quality from low yielding vines.
Only the best parcels of fruit are carefully selected throughout the vineyard and utilized in the Jip Jip Rocks label. Great attention to detail with the integration of fruit flavors and fine oak barrels helps produce classic handcrafted wine styles.
Lifted spice and ripe mulberry/blackberry aromas are complimented with chocolate, cedar and cinnamon on the nose. Well-integrated oak tannin provides flavors of clove and supple texture, which supports the rich plum, blackberry and mocha. The overall structure is supple and generous with fine-grained tannin and a lingering finish.
Pairs well with venison, ribeye steak, lamb.
