Anysbos new releases

Johan and Sue Heyns acquired Anysbos in Bot River in 2008 and have learnt farming the hard way – through trial and error. From law and film to land, with Marelise Niemann (own label: Momento) as winemaker, the reds show consistent high quality while the white blend now ranks among the country’s best.

57% Chenin Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 13% Marsanne and 10% Grenache Blanc. Matured for 10 months in old oak. Flowers, herbs, white, green and yellow fruit plus a hint of flinty reduction on the nose.
