Description

Upfront aromas of vibrant red fruit and notes of spices, supported by subtle oak nuances of mocha and cinnamon. The wine boasts a well-defined round and elegant structure and lush red berries, ensuring intriguing and juicy tannins. It reveals the best of both varieties in the blend and finishes in a soft, lingering after-taste.

Vinification

Grapes originate from Swartland and Stellenbosch. Picked at 25 degrees Balling, sorted, de-stemmed, crushed and fermented at between 24-26°C. After fermentation, the wine was left on French oak staves in the tank to finish the malolactic process and to age

Maturation

The blend was oak-staved, using premium French oak, for a period of 8-12 months. The French oak staves enhance the fruit flavours and lend structure to the wine.
