Mooiplaas Rosalind 2004

Name: Mooiplaas Rosalind 2004
Brand: Mooiplaas
SKU: 17839

With the Rosalind the objective is to create a Bordeaux type blend with elegance and balance that can stand the test of time. In the maiden 2003 vintage the main element was Cabernet Franc and that approach is continued in the 2004. The wine has very dark red colour, while the palate shows a good tight grip of oak tannins balanced with excellent fruit and good length on the palate.
