Stellekaya
Stellekaya produces wines from Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties, with Orion—a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—standing as its flagship. A single-varietal Merlot rounds out the core range, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. Both Falstaff and Wine Spectator have assessed the winery's output, with Orion and the Merlot earning particular recognition at 91.0 points on the prestige scale. The Cabernet Sauvignon follows at 87.3. Stellenbosch's maritime climate and well-drained soils support the ripening of these classic red varieties, allowing the winery to craft structured, age-worthy expressions of the region's signature grapes.
