Strandveld The Navigator’s
The Strandveld The Navigator 750ml is a distinguished Rhône-style red wine from South Africa’s southernmost winery, delivered to Nairobi by Frontdoor Kenya. Crafted by Strandveld Vineyards in the cool-climate Elim region near Cape Agulhas, this limited-edition blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Viognier pays homage to Prince Henry the Navigator, celebrating exploration and discovery. Ideal for hearty dinners, festive gatherings, or as a premium gift, this wine’s rich complexity and smooth finish make it a standout for Nairobi’s wine enthusiasts.
Savor the Complex Flavor Profile of Strandveld The Navigator
The Navigator enchants with aromas of cool-climate spice—white pepper, cloves, and floral hints from Viognier—layered with juicy blackberry, plum, and mocha. On the palate, it delivers a richly textured experience, blending blackberry, coffee, and Mediterranean herbs with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. With a 14% ABV, this full-bodied wine offers depth and balance, perfect for sipping at 16°C. Its savory, well-structured profile has earned accolades, including a 95-point Gold Medal at the 2020 Decanter World Wine Awards, making it a favorite for Nairobi’s discerning sippers.
Perfect Pairings for Every Occasion
This Rhône blend shines with robust dishes. Pair it with springbok, grilled steak, or lamb to highlight its spiced fruit notes, or enjoy it with meaty Italian dishes like lasagna. It also complements Nairobi’s local cuisine, such as nyama choma or duck tagine, adding sophistication to every bite. Planning an Easter feast or barbecue? The Navigator’s versatility ensures it impresses. Explore more reds to elevate your meals on our Wines category page, featuring options like Teperberg Vision Malbec or Pinot Noir.
Crafted in a Unique Terroir
Strandveld Vineyards, established in 2001, sits just 9 kilometers from the sea, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. The cool, windy maritime climate and quartzite gravel soils create a distinctive terroir, with low yields and slow-ripening grapes that yield intense flavors. Winemaker Conrad Vlok harvests Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Viognier over five days, co-fermenting them for 21 days with twice-daily pump-overs. The blend matures for 18 months in French oak (30% new, 300- and 500-liter barrels), balancing fruit and structure. This craftsmanship has earned the 2020 vintage 92 points from Tim Atkin MW and a Top 10 Platinum Award at SAWI 2023.
Why The Navigator Stands Out
The Navigator 750ml is a top choice for Nairobians seeking premium quality and value. Limited to 7,000 bottles annually, its exclusivity and Rhône-inspired complexity make it ideal for gifting or savoring. Personalize your bottle with our Custom Engraving service—add “Nairobi Nights 2025” or a name for a memorable touch. With a maturation potential to 2029, it’s perfect for cellaring or enjoying now. Its bold yet balanced profile suits Nairobi’s vibrant lifestyle, earning praise for its “gutsy concentration” and “supple tannins.”
