The Estate
After 12 long years of making really good wines, for really nice people, I decided that it is time to make some even better wines for myself. And obviously for you too. And for a whole lot of other deserving people on this planet. So if you are keen on good wines, wines like the Fram Shiraz that oozes personality and want to keep ahead of the Joneses, this is the right place to be.
At Fram they always sail into uncharted waters, to boldly search for whatever great grapes lie behind the next hill, over the next horizon. Bringing great wines much like the Fram Shiraz, from the Here Be Dragons areas of the wine map. With an extremely shaky captain like myself at the helm, this can only be an exciting journey.
Fram Shiraz is from a selection of vineyards around the Swartland, combining barrels from the granite sands in the Paardeberg with those from wines that came from the koffieklip soils west of Malmesbury. The vision at Fram is to make a wine that will focus on freshness, and show lively fruit, ranging from red cherry to the black savouriness of liquorice.

On the nose: fresh show of lively fruit, ranging from red cherry to the black savouriness of liquorice.
On the palate: follows with smoky, fireplace embers and vibrant, fresh red cherry fruits. graceful yet firm tannins frame the fruit beautifully.
