Red, white or rosé, what does spring taste like to you?

Perhaps it’s a chilled Rosé while the braai gets going, a fresh Chenin Blanc around the Sunday lunch table, or a bottle of Shiraz opened when the sun disappears behind the mountains and the spring evening cools down.

One of the pleasures of a new season is finding yourself reaching for different wines, and at Saronsberg, there’s plenty to explore beyond one familiar favourite. Our range moves from bright whites and Rosé to expressive reds, each offering a different way to enjoy the season and a chance to discover more of what we produce here in Tulbagh.

So next time you visit, taste beyond your usual order. You may arrive knowing exactly what you like and leave with a new favourite for spring.

Book a tasting and come explore the Saronsberg range with us 🌿🍷

If September had a wine, we’d pour this one.

Our Wine of the Month is our Seismic 2023, a Bordeaux-style blend built around Cabernet Sauvignon and brought together with Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

In the glass, cassis, red currant and plum meet notes of cedar and to***co, followed by fine-grained tannins and a refined finish. Each variety brings something different to the blend, but it’s how they work together that gives Seismic its character.

For this month’s feature, Christiaan sits down with a bottle to share a little more about the wine and what makes the 2023 vintage worth getting to know.

Pour a glass with us, then discover Seismic 2023 for yourself.

You never quite know what you’ll find around the corner at Saronsberg.

Spring has brought us back outdoors, and it’s one of our favourite times to explore the art beyond the walls of our gallery.

Throughout our gardens, sculptures and artworks are tucked between the trees and open spaces, turning a walk around the estate into an opportunity to discover something unexpected.

One of them is this striking bronze goat by South African sculptor Ruhan Janse van Vuuren, carrying a curious procession of figurative, trophy-like forms across its back. Goats appear repeatedly in Janse van Vuuren’s work, where he plays with ideas of value, status and the objects we use to represent achievement.

So, after your next wine tasting, take your glass outside and give yourself a little time to explore. You might come for the Shiraz and find yourself stopping for the art.

Spring is here, and the gardens are ready to be explored.

Spring has found its way back to Saronsberg.

For those who love wine, this change of season means a little more than warmer days and green returning to the farm.

Spring marks the beginning of a new growing season in our vineyards. Buds begin to break, new shoots appear and the vines start the journey that will eventually lead to another harvest, and another vintage in your glass for you to enjoy.

It also happens to be a beautiful time to experience our estate for yourself. Warmer afternoons mean tastings can spill outdoors again, the gardens are coming back to life, and there’s plenty to explore with a glass of wine in hand.

So, as we raise a glass to the first signs of another vintage, we hope you’ll find your own reason to return to Saronsberg too.

Book a tasting and spend a spring afternoon with us 🌿 https://www.saronsberg.com/saronsberg-wine-tasting

There’s only one thing left to do after seven days... Taste it🍷

This week, we’ve followed Saronsberg Shiraz and Provenance Shiraz from their vineyards across the farm, into the cellar, through barrel maturation and into the bottles you recognise today.

Along the way, you’ve met some of the people behind them and discovered how two Shiraz wines from the same estate can develop such individual identities. But this is where all of that work is ultimately meant to lead, to a bottle being opened, a glass being poured and you sitting down to enjoy it.

Thank you for joining us for Shiraz Week and following the journey behind two wines that mean so much to Saronsberg.

Now there’s only one thing left to do, come and taste them for yourself.

We’ll see you in the tasting room. 🍷

For Day 6 of Shiraz Week, Christiaan looks back at how Provenance Shiraz has evolved over the years - not only in the bottle, but on it.

The word provenance has particular meaning in the art world. It is the history of a work: where it came from and the story it carries with it. It is a fitting name for a wine whose own identity has developed alongside the art of Saronsberg.

Our earliest Provenance labels featured a painting by South African artist Paul du Toit. Then, in 2013, the label changed to feature Angus Taylor’s sculpture “Uit klip, uit water”, the figure standing at the water’s edge outside our cellar that many now know as Lady at the Water.

The labels have changed and the packaging has been refined, but one thing has remained consistent: Provenance is made with the same care and attention we bring to Saronsberg Shiraz.

It has its own style, its own character and, over time, an identity that is distinctly its own.

Line the bottles up together and you are looking at more than changing labels. You are looking at the provenance of Provenance itself🍷

Day 5 of Shiraz Week: Provenance Shiraz 🍷

Provenance Shiraz and Saronsberg Shiraz are made differently because the fruit calls for a different approach. What does not change is the care and attention given to both.

That starts in the vineyard. Provenance comes from younger vineyards on the Welgegund slopes, where the soils and vines give us fruit with a different profile to work with. Rather than trying to push that fruit towards more weight or structure, we follow what it gives us naturally.

In the cellar, that means a gentler approach to oak and maturation, producing a more elegant style of Shiraz while still carrying the character of Shiraz grown here at Saronsberg.

It is also a wine known for its consistency. That dependability, vintage after vintage, is one of the reasons Provenance has become such a favourite among South African wine drinkers.

In the glass, you will find red and black fruit, floral notes and touches of fynbos, with soft tannins and a smooth finish.

Different in style, but never in the standard behind it🍷

25/08/2026

Great wine is not the result of one big decision. It is the result of getting hundreds of smaller ones right, consistently🍷

For Day 4 of Shiraz Week, Christiaan talks about something that sits at the heart of our Saronsberg Shiraz: consistency.

From the work Roux and the vineyard team do each season, to the decisions made in the cellar and the way the wine is tasted and assessed during maturation, every stage is approached with the same intention - to keep improving what eventually reaches your glass.

That does not mean making exactly the same wine every vintage. Each year brings something different. For Christiaan, the aim is that the quality remains consistent and the character remains recognisably Saronsberg.

In our 2022 Shiraz, that character comes through in ripe dark and red fruit, violets and spice, with integrated oak, fine tannins and a layered fruit finish.

Different vintage. Same commitment to getting it right.

Tomorrow, we turn to another expression of Shiraz at Saronsberg: Provenance Shiraz 🍷
