Weathered Hands Shiraz

Dewaldt Heyns Family Wines emerged from Dewaldt’s lifelong desire to make wines that reflect the region he has known his whole life – the Swartland. In another way, however, the story of these wines begins when Dewaldt’s grandfather, Jan Heyns, bought a small little farm in the Paardeberg, Swartland. The Dewaldt Heyns label started in 2006 when Dewaldt made the first Shiraz under his own name, sourced from grapes his father planted. It has been Dewaldt’s lifelong dream to make wine from the same grapes among which he played as a barefoot child.

A very limited volume wine made from low-yielding dry-land bush vines.

It has a deep, dark purple color with succulent ripe fruit flavors, both dark and red, which are supported by scents of violets and delicate spice. The mouth-feel has depth and clarity of fruit with integrated oak flavors, finely crafted tannins and a beautifully layered fruit-infused finish.
