Stellenbosch Vineyards Credo SMV 2022
Stellenbosch Vineyards is rooted in one of South Africa’s most storied wine regions, where warm days, cool nights and diverse soils translate into ripe yet structured red wines. The Credo range is part of the estate’s Collection of Fine Wines, designed to express both varietal character and regional nuance from well-chosen vineyard sites within the wider Stellenbosch district. The SMV (Shiraz, Merlot, Viognier) blend brings together Shiraz’s spicy, rich core with Merlot’s plushness and a floral lift from Viognier, balanced by attentive oak maturation. It’s a wine that reflects Stellenbosch Vineyards’ approachable yet confident winemaking philosophy - sound structure, clear fruit focus, and everyday enjoyment with depth.
Colour:
Rich ruby red with garnet hues at the edge.
Nose:
Lifted aromatics of violets and plum are enhanced by black and white peppercorn spice, with hints of liquorice and subtle cedar from oak influence.
Palate:
The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing juicy dark fruit - plum, black cherry and bramble - framed by soft tannins. A smooth, dense mid-palate delivers richness and texture with integrated spice and gentle savoury threads that make for balanced drinking.
Finish:
A lingering finish carries spice and dark fruit flavours, with a polished, easy-drinking closure that invites another sip.
- Food Pairing : Stellenbosch Vineyards Credo SMV 2022 pairs well with richly flavoured, hearty fare that complements its spice and fruit character. A slow-roasted beef brisket or lamb shank - seasoned with rosemary and cracked black pepper - will echo the wine’s black fruit and peppery notes. Rich tomato-based stews and red wine sauces are also great matches, as are grilled venison or rosemary-scented pork belly. For contrast, aged cheddar or gouda on a cheese board brings a savoury richness that balances the wine’s fruit and smooth texture.
