Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

Stellenbosch is South Africa's answer to the world's great Cabernet regions — and Stark-Condé is one of the wineries that proves this with substance.

The family-run winery is located in the Jonkershoek Mountains east of Stellenbosch. The combination of cool sea breezes from the Indian Ocean and well-drained granite soils ensures slow ripening and structured wines. Winemaker José Conde relies on classic vinification: maceration in open tanks and aging in barriques.

In the glass, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon displays dark blackberry and blackcurrant, along with cedarwood and a hint of graphite. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with firm but not coarse tannins, supported by a fresh acidity. The finish is long with a subtle note of cocoa.

Serving suggestion: Available now, will continue to develop until 2029. Serving temperature 17–18 °C. Pairs well with braised lamb, brisket, or a mature cheddar.

The Winery

Stark-Condé

Stark-Condé: Craftsmanship meets international class in the Jonkershoek Valley

Behind this name lies a family history: "Stark" refers to the German roots of founder Hans Schröder, "Condé" to his Cuban son-in-law José Condé, who founded the winery in 1998. What began as an ambitious experiment with minimal equipment quickly developed into an internationally recognized address – the first Cabernet Sauvignon set standards.

In the Jonkershoek Valley near Stellenbosch, the family farms their vineyards organically at altitudes between 150 and 600 meters. The weathered granite soils, the cool climate with penetrating winter rains, and the constant wind create ideal conditions for mineral, complex wines.

The philosophy is evident in the cellar: spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, sensitive aging in French oak, and a complete absence of fining and filtration. Stark-Condé is famous for its expressive Cabernet Sauvignons, but also presents elegant Syrahs and multi-layered white wines – consistently artisanal, consistently honest.
