Stellenbosch Vineyards Credo Shiraz 2023
Shiraz / Syrah
Description
Stellenbosch Vineyards has long been a central figure in South Africa’s most celebrated wine region, blending modern innovation with deep respect for terroir. Nestled within the cool, mountainous contours of Stellenbosch and drawing on diverse soils from sandy alluvium to decomposed granite, the estate sources fruit from prime sites across the ward system. Its wines reflect a thoughtful New World approach - ripe varietal fruit, careful oak integration, and structural poise - while staying true to the expressive identity of Stellenbosch. The Credo range embodies the winery’s belief that elegant, rewarding wines can be crafted without unnecessary complexity, giving drinkers clarity of fruit, measured oak influence, and a sense of place in every glass.
Colour: Deep, inviting ruby-purple that hints at concentrated flavours.
Nose: Aromas open with vibrant dark berry fruit - mulberries and blackcurrants - layered with warm spice, gentle liquorice and hints of cedar and dark chocolate.
Palate: The palate is rich yet refined, carrying succulent dark fruit with balanced acidity and fine, polished tannins. Integrated French oak adds a touch of vanilla, clove and soft toast notes without overwhelming the varietal fruits.
Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering dark fruit and spice that underscores the wine’s structure.

Stellenbosch Vineyards Credo Shiraz 2023
- Food Pairing : The structured fruit and spice-driven profile of this Shiraz makes it ideal with hearty, flavourful mains. Pair it with a slow-roasted rack of lamb rubbed with rosemary and garlic — the wine’s tannins and oak notes counterpoint the rich meat beautifully. It also complements a classic oxtail stew, where its depth and spice enhance the savoury sauce. For something slightly lighter, a chargrilled beef brisket or pepper-crusted sirloin will balance the wine’s ripe dark fruit and peppery nuances, making each sip feel even more complete.
