From 21 to 27 August, South African wine lovers will once again celebrate Seven Days of Shiraz, an annual initiative that shines a spotlight on one of the country’s most expressive and versatile grape varieties. Inspired by the diversity of South African Shiraz, the campaign encourages consumers to discover how this noble cultivar can effortlessly elevate everything from relaxed winter dinners to memorable celebrations.
For Stellenview Premium Wines, Shiraz is more than simply another varietal. It is a canvas for craftsmanship, with each label reflecting a distinctive philosophy, vineyard selection and winemaking style while remaining unmistakably rooted in Stellenbosch.
Whether your preference leans towards elegance, complexity or bold intensity, Stellenview Premium Wines’ portfolio offers a Shiraz for every occasion.

A grape for every table
Shiraz has earned its place as one of South Africa’s favourite red varieties thanks to its remarkable versatility. Equally at home alongside slow-roasted lamb, flame-grilled steaks and hearty winter stews as it is with mature cheeses or simply enjoyed beside a crackling fire, it offers richness, warmth and character in every glass.
This Seven Days of Shiraz, Stellenview Premium Wines invites wine lovers to explore three distinct interpretations of this celebrated cultivar, each telling its own story of Stellenbosch terroir, meticulous winemaking and award-winning excellence.
After all, one week is hardly enough to discover everything South African Shiraz has to offer, but it is certainly the perfect place to start.
