Crafted by Erasmus Wines, founded by acclaimed winemaker Erasmus “Rassie” van der Merwe, this wine represents a pinnacle of quality, showcasing the unique terroir and meticulous vineyard practices that define the estate.

Erasmus Family Reserve is a blend of Syrah and Grenache, with smaller proportions of Mourvèdre and Viognier. This harmonious combination results in a complex wine that delivers layers of flavor and depth. The Syrah provides bold dark fruit notes, peppery spice, and robust structure, while the Grenache contributes elegance and red fruit character. The Mourvèdre adds richness and earthy nuances, and the Viognier enhances the aromatic profile with floral and stone fruit elements.

On the nose, the wine offers an enticing bouquet of dark berries, plums, and spice, complemented by subtle oak influence. On the palate is full-bodied, featuring velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that leads to a long, lingering finish.

This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, slow-braised beef, or gourmet cheeses, making it a versatile choice for any culinary occasion.

With Erasmus Family Reserve, you’re not only enjoying a glass of fine wine; you’re partaking in a legacy of excellence and tradition that celebrates the essence of the Swartland region.
