Stark-Condé

Stellenbosch Chenin, Pinot Noir, and Syrah rated by major critics.

Stark-Condé produces wines from Stellenbosch, in South Africa's Coastal Region. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Monk Stone Chenin Blanc, Pepin Condé Rowey Vineyards Pinot Noir, and Three Pines Syrah. The Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir have each earned an average prestige rating of 92 points across assessments by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Falstaff, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. The Syrah follows at 91.4 points. Stellenbosch's cool maritime influence and diverse soils support both the aromatic, mineral-driven character typical of Chenin Blanc and the elegant, structured expression of Pinot Noir—grapes that thrive in the region's temperate conditions. Syrah, too, finds expression here with the structure and spice the variety is known for. The winery's focus on these three varietals reflects a deliberate approach to Stellenbosch's terroir.
