This special release signature blend is a fitting tribute to Dr Julius Laszlo, the innovative, visionary Cellarmaster at The Bergkelder who catapulted South African winemaking into the international league in the 1980s.
BACKGROUND
Crafted from the finest barrels of noble varieties Dr Laszlo helped to establish in the Cape winelands, this elegant, full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend epitomises the Fleur du Cap philosophy of no intervention. Allowing the unbridled expression of the grapes to dictate the style, this signature wine is shaped in perfect harmony with nature resulting in a superb classic that abounds with fruit and flavour.
LASZLO
The Laszlo has an incredible deep purple colour with a youthful hue. The initial aromas of cedar and tobacco spice are enhanced by nuances of cinnamon and cloves. The spiciness is balanced with plum and fruitcake aromas complemented by mint chocolate aromas. These flavours come across on the palate with an elegant complexity that has a crisp acidity and racy tannins that will ensure that the wine matures well.
