The Collaboration
The Anwilka project represents a specific kind of international collaboration that has proved particularly productive in emerging fine wine regions: the combination of local viticultural knowledge and terroir intimacy with international winemaking perspective and investment resources. Klein Constantia's family brings an understanding of Cape viticulture that spans generations, whilst the Bordeaux-connected international partners contribute the perspective of producers who have spent their working lives at the highest level of red wine production in the world's most established fine wine region.
The result is a red blend that is simultaneously South African in its terroir character and international in its winemaking ambition, produced from Stellenbosch vineyard sources with a precision and structural completeness that reflects the best of both perspectives.
Style and Character
Anwilka is a structured, age-worthy Bordeaux-style red blend produced from Stellenbosch vineyard sources with Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant component, complemented by Shiraz and other Bordeaux varieties in proportions that the specific character of each vintage determines. The wine is produced with French oak ageing calibrated to develop complexity and structural completeness without dominating the natural fruit character of the Stellenbosch terroir.
The inclusion of Shiraz in the blend, unusual in a Bordeaux-style context, reflects the Cape's specific viticultural reality: Stellenbosch Syrah of genuine quality contributes a structural warmth and spiced complexity that integrates well with Cabernet Sauvignon's linear mineral precision in the specific conditions of the Cape climate.
