Scions of Sinai takes its name from a granite hill in the Lower Helderberg, but the wines have never been about geography alone. They are about memory, family, and vineyards that deserved another chapter. Bernhard Bredell has built one of Stellenbosch’s most distinctive collections from old vines and thoughtful farming, producing wines that speak with precision rather than volume.
Each new vintage seems to just add another layer of focus. Bernhard’s love for the vineyards and soils is pulpable and each encounter leaves one richer and wiser. This special connection to nature and people translates in each bottle. These are truly wines with soul.
Each bottle carries the hallmark of Scions of Sinai. Freshness. Detail. A sense of place. Wines that reward attention without demanding it.
We’ve seen over the years how different wines each have their own following.
Granietsteen Chenin Blanc – one of the best expressions of this maritime granite site, and the best vintage to date!
Gramadoelas Grenache Blanc – If you found the vineyard, you’re lost. It’s not just the site that’s unique. This is compelling to say the least. Floral and wild fennel
Heldervallei Cinsault – Capturing the sunshine, keeping the brightness
Krummelkip Cabernet Sauvignon – Aromatic with spice and tight tannins
Feniks Pinotage – Concentrated and dense vintage, still staying bright
Swanesang Syrah – Earthy, Umami, meaty, white pepper and tealeaf
The new releases are now in stock at Wine Menu.
