2021 | Anysbos | Disdit

The Anysbos Tesame 2021 is a unique and characterful red wine that balances freshness and subtle tannin structure. A blend of 59% Grenache, 26% Shiraz and 15% Cinsault, it offers spice, fynbos, and crushed rose and is pleasantly dry with great energy and mineral complexity.

Producer Information

The genus name Agathosma is derived from the Greek word agathos which means good, and osme, which refers to the distinctive fragrance which is so characteristic of the genus. The oil glands on the leaves and fruit normally release an aromatic fragrance when crushed. The specific epithet, cerefolium, refers to the waxy leaves of the species. Anysbos is more than a plant, wine, winery or even vineyard…it is a place, and a special one at that. Johan and Sue Heyns founded Anysbos in 2008 through happenstance and a near tragic event. Johan was in the film business in Johannesburg and had a very unfortunate run-in with a home invasion when he was shot twice. His brother Bernhard Heyns owns the vineyard just down the road from what is now Anysbos, called Gabriëlskloof, and pleaded with Johan to move to a more stress-free life in the country. Johan completed the purchase of 70ha of land in 2008 and planted the first olive groves. The following year he planted Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir when his brother said he would purchase it all for Gabriëlskloof. Four years later they collectively realized this wasn’t the ideal place for those varieties and ripped them out to replant better suited ones. They also hired a top viticulturist to analyze the soils, water tables, aspect, climate, etc. who recommended that they plant Rhône varieties and a bit of Chenin Blanc. In late 2012 the 10ha vineyard was replanted to bush vine varieties and has been organically dry-farmed since its inception.
