From a vineyard planted some 40 years ago in the Groenekloof ward of Darling, the wine spent 16 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, 20% new.
The nose shows cherries, plums, fynbos and spice plus a slight musky quality. The palate is not without heft but possesses lovely fruit purity, snappy acidity and fine tannins. Approximate retail price: R275 a bottle.
#WinemagRating: 91/100.
