About The Wine
Classic Cabernet earthy influence noticeable on Pinotage-dominated blend. Densely packed, concentrated ripe black fruit all held together by impressive structure, bright acidity and masculine tannins. Cellar worthy, put this one away for 4-6 years for optimal enjoyment, or decant and serve with hearty beef stews or strong, mature cheeses.
Winemaker's notes:
"One of the flagships and specialities from our property, growing on bush vines on the farm. The nose offers coconut, bramble, blueberry compote and dark-roast coffee. Full intensity and body mellowed by time in both barrel and bottle. Creamy texture with a smoky finish."
