tasting notes
Winemaker's Comments The wine reflects the diversity of the farm with its different soil types, micro-climate and fynbos integrated between the vineyards. Each of the wines in the blend stands out in terms of its varietal expression but blended together they form a harmonious wine where no single cultivar dominates. Colour: Bright red. Bouquet: Aromatic red berries, spicy sweet tones with cedar and subtle vanilla aromas. Taste: Blackcurrant and a variety of red berries. Sweet, ripe fruit. Tannins firm and oak well integrated with fruit. Full-bodied with oak adding hints of tobacco and cedar.
ageing potential
Ageing Process and Potential The tannins are ripe and accessible with a soft finish, but will provide structure for a long ageing period in the bottle of between 7 and 12 years. The different wines in the blend were purposefully selected to provide different layers of flavour to increase the complexity of the wine.
