Description
A showcase of the two most prominent red varieties growing on the estate. The fruit is very juicy and lush, with strawberry and plum's primarily red fruit profile. Both wines add a lot of specific characteristics to the blend. The Syrah adds a pleasant violet aromatic, and the Pinotage contributes with plush red fruit and soft tannin. A subtle top note of black peppercorn from the Durif adds to the allure of the wine.
