Why you'll love it
A great-value Syrah-led blend from top South African producer Boekenhoutskloof—flavourful, consistent.
Ripe black cherry, plum, pepper and violet with smooth tannins and a hint of spice.
Perfect for BBQ, grilled meats, stews or hard cheeses.
Best known in Bandol, Southern Rhône, Spain
A dark, savoury red grape that loves Mediterranean heat. Blackberry, game, leather and herbs, with firm tannins and real depth. The star grape of Bandol and a key part of Southern Rhône blends; in Spain it is called Monastrell.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Languedoc
An aromatic Rhône white grape. Apricot, peach and honeysuckle, with a rich, almost oily texture and fairly low acidity. It is the grape of Condrieu, and in Côte-Rôtie a little is sometimes added to Syrah for perfume.
South Africa
The heartland of South Africa's wine revolution. Old bush-vine Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Syrah grown on schist and granite. The natural wine movement found its South African home here — producers like Eben Sadie and Chris Alheit have changed the global conversation about what South African wine can be.

JerseyHere in the Winelands of South Africa it has to be said that wolftrap is not regarded too highly. Drinkable but not exceptional but quite popular because of its reasonable price. Can recommend for what it is. Not for connoisseurs!
