This masterful Cape Blend of older bush vines reflects and elegant, multi-dimensional wine that displays the true characteristics of the Swartland region’s terroir. This well-structured wine is made from 40 year old dry-land bush vines are that give low yields, offer high concentration of rich, ripe dark fruit and spicy aromas, combined with the smokiness of 12 - 18 months in new French oak barrels.
