Tasting Notes
An intense bouquet of dark berries and plums with secondary aromas of warm spices and a hint of tobacco. Poised and elegant upfront, the mid-palate opens to a generous flourish of cassis and dark chocolate supported by plush tannins leading to a dry and lingering finish. Enjoy now with rich cuts of red meat or spicy vegan dishes or be rewarded after careful cellaring over the next 10 years.
Method of Production
The grapes for this wine all come from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa, an area globally recognized for the production of premium red wines with excellent ageability. After de-stemming the grapes were fermented as whole berries in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters. After primary fermentation the free run wine was transferred to 300l French oak barrels; of which a 100% were 2nd and 3rd fill and left to mature for 15 months before bottling.
