  • 2016 Cinsault, Illimis Red Wine

    2016 Cinsault, Illimis

    £2900

    This is a stunning example of what Cinsault is capable of – intense turkish delight and cherry aromas. The tannins are soft, and it has loads of layered fruit and savoury notes.   

    From a dry-farmed plot of bush vines, planted in 1974, this is as delicate, fine and finessed as Cinsault gets. 

    Part of a trio of knock-out wines from Lucinda Heyns this year, the Illimis Cinsault all comes from Darling, a region that produces several of the best examples in the country. Lightly wooded, with 50% carbonic maceration, it’s a gentle, ethereal, floral style with fine tannins and some supporting grip.     93points – Tim Atkin MW, timatkin.com (September 2019)

  • 2019 Grenache, Illimis Red Wine

    2019 Grenache, Illimis

    £2995

    We love Grenache at Wine Republic and were very excited when Illimis announced they had produced one!   Winemaker and owner of Illimis, Lucinda Heyns has crafted an exceptional example of Grenache from a bush vine vineyard located in Wellington which is just north of Paarl in the Western Cape.   The vineyard has shale soil with pockets of schist that Grenache loves and it delivers a wine with fine, chalky tannins, beautiful aromas of wild strawberries, lavender and rose petals.  The palate is silky and supple with flavours of cherry, minerals, dried berries and wild herbs that lead into a long finish.

  • 2017 Chenin Blanc, Illimis White Wine

    2017 Chenin Blanc, Illimis

    £3500

    This is a worthy successor to the heralded 2016 vintage of this wine. Vibrant, textured with notes of spice and crunchy apple. Oatmeal and citrus flavours come to the fore leading to a poised and pure finish.

    Interesting fact:- The vineyard in cool-climate Elgin region of the Western Cape is 300m above sea level on bokkeveld shale soils. We say soil – more just vines growing out of huge chunks of rock!

  • 2017 Riesling, Illimis White Wine

    2017 Riesling, Illimis

    £3500

    Typical Riesling character with delicate terpene and dried apricot aromas. Unconventional texture and breadth on the palate that is balanced by lively acidity.

    The vineyard for this young, bushvine Riesling is nestled on a south-facing slope next to a wetland in Darling. The cooler slope contributes to the lively acidity of this unconventional Riesling with distinctive floral aromas.
