Stellenzicht’s Acheulean Red is a luxury wine with a bold character. Each cluster is handpicked in the cool early hours, ensuring only the finest fruit is selected. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault berries undergo a seven-to-10-day whole-berry fermentation, while Shiraz whole bunches are given up to 14 days for a deeper, more expressive extraction.
Acheulean Red matures for 18 months in a combination of 500-litre and 300-litre French oak barrels, with 40% new oak contributing to its refined structure. This flagship blend bursts with luxurious layers of red and black fruits, fine tannins and subtle oak – a complex, elegant wine that artfully balances fruity and savoury notes, promising to age gracefully for at least a decade.
Each grape variety brings its own unique character to the blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon adds power and structure, the Syrah contributes intensity and a touch of spice, and the Cinsault softens the wine, offering a fragrant lift. Together, they create a wine that is rich, full-bodied, and sophisticated, with an exceptional aging potential of ten years or more.
Acheulean Red is a wine that will evolve beautifully over time. Whether you choose to enjoy it now or cellar it for future enjoyment, its depth and complexity will continue to unfold, making it a true reflection of craftsmanship and a wine that stands the test of time.
