Planted in 1956. The vines are tiny with tiny berries. Chris Williams, post-Meerlust, wanted to keep a foot in Stellenbosch and thinks this wine is more expressive of old vines than of the variety itself. Very heady and intense. Really intense on the palate too! This makes a great, rich, lightly salty argument for old-vine quality. Pungent finish with a light chewiness. This wine has pear, peach, citrus, fynbos and straw on the nose.

The Foundry was established in 2001, Chris made the first vintage at Joostenberg Wines in an old farm workshop that became affectionately known as “The Foundry”. He made a single Stellenbosch Syrah in that first year and has slowly added wines over the next decade and a half to end up with five wines in the range. Up until 2019 the wines were made at Meerlust where Chris was also the head winemaker. As of vintage 2020 he has moved fulltime into The Foundry, based on the Voor-Paardeberg next to the Grenache Blanc vineyard.
