Intellego ‘Kedungu’ 2024

R205.00

Kedungu 2024 blends 50% Mourvèdre, 22.5% Cinsault, 22.5% Syrah and 5% Pinotage. The Mourvèdre and Syrah were fermented as whole bunches. The wine matured for twelve months in barrel, followed by four months in tank.

The name comes from a surf spot in Bali that Jurgen visited. These varieties appear elsewhere in the Intellego range, making Kedungu another way to explore their different roles. Mourvèdre leads this blend, with Cinsault, Syrah and Pinotage contributing to a broad, savoury red.

“Broad with moderate acidity and powdery tannins, the finish gently savoury. Flavourful and accessible.”

Intellego is the Swartland wine project of Jurgen Gouws, who started the label in 2009. Originally from the Eastern Cape, he now makes his wines in the Paardeberg, working with vineyards across the region.

His approach starts with getting to know those vineyards. In the cellar, he uses spontaneous fermentation and works with techniques such as skin contact and whole-bunch fermentation according to the wine he wants to make.

Texture is a recurring focus, particularly in the whites. Working with the same vineyards over several years has helped Jurgen understand how they respond to each vintage and refine his approach. The range includes pét-nats, Chenin Blanc, skin-contact whites and reds ranging from light blends to single-variety Syrah and Pinotage.
