About this Item
After global travels and living in Japan for more than two decades, Hans-Peter Schröder relocated to Stellenbosch and bought the beautiful Oude Nektar farm in the Jonkershoek Valley in the late 1980s. He was later joined by son-in-law José Conde, a native of Kansas City, who took up the reins in the cellar with both passion and precision, unlocking the potential of the Jonkershoek terroir.
Stark-Condé Kara-Tara Pinot Noir Reserve 2020 (6 x 750ml)
Maiden release from Stark-Condé's super-star winemaker, Rüdger van Wyk. Rüdger sources grapes from all over the Western Cape for the Kara-Tara project – which has received recognition from notable critics like Jancis Robinson and Tim Atkin. A special vineyard in the Overberg produces the very best fruit for these wines year after year. The Pinot Noir Reserve is a special bottling of only 2 barrels from this vineyard.
Stark-Condé Oude Nektar Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (6 x 750ml)
Greg Sherwood calls this “one of the most exciting Cabernet Sauvignons I have tasted from Stellenbosch in a long time”. Oude Nektar is the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon offering from Stark-Condé, who are specialists in this varietal. From one of Stellenbosch’s highest Cabernet vineyards; this single vineyard is situated at approximately 600m above sea-level. This elevation is combined with winds from the cooling southeaster and ±45min more sunlight than the Stellenbosch average, making a deeply complex wine with decades of ageing potential. Made in a minimalist style to let the vineyard shine. Regularly compared to first growth Pauillac. A fine addition to any serious cellar.
