Signature Brands, o/a Roodekrantz Wines

South Africa

Signature Brands is operated by the father and son team of Marius Sr. and Marius Jr. Burger. They are integral members of South Africa’s Old Vine Project, an initiative started in 2002 by the iconic Vineyard Manager Rosa Kruger. Under Rosa’s guidance, growers with old vines get paired with winemakers who share their passion of not preserving South Africa’s old vines, but to manage them in such a way thaat they will consistently produce superior fruit to sustain their future. In the process Rosa and her grower and winery partners sustain and continue South Africa’s long and rich history of being home to some of the world’s oldest viticultural soils.

From their winery in Paarl, Roodekrantz predominantly works with growers in Paarl, Swartland, and Stellenbosch. In the Old Vine Project, a big focus is on Chenin Blanc, while their vineyards in Paarl produce more traditional red wines.

RK Die Boskind · Profile

A well-crafted blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The grapes come from their vineyards in Paarl and Stellenbosch. This traditional Bordeaux-style blend shows a beautiful deep colour. Aromas of black berries and cherry are backed by a firm, ripe tannin structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a soft sensation. Wonderful harmony.
