Description
Description
A sophisticated Red Blend showcasing the richness of Stellenbosch. This wine combines 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz, and 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. Aromas of baking spices, dark chocolate, and vibrant black fruits give way to complex notes of cassis, meat, and oak spice. The palate is dense yet finely tuned, with concentrated, harmonious tannins and a long, defined finish.
Vineyard & Terroir
Stellenbosch vineyards, benefitting from small, concentrated berries due to warm, dry growing conditions, producing deeply flavoured and structured wines.
Winemaking
Hand-harvested early in the morning, with whole berries fermented in open-top tanks and barrels. Fermentation included careful punch-downs and pump-overs. Each varietal was matured separately in oak barrels before final blending.
Tasting Notes
Dark chocolate, cassis, black fruit, baking spice, medium- to full-bodied, powerful yet balanced, with a long finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted or grilled red meats, game dishes, and mature hard cheeses.
Grape Variety
Red Blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot)
