Description
The west-facing vineyards were planted in 2011 and grow in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone soils on the Estate. The wine was matured for a period of 24 months in predominately French oak barrels. Colour: Deep ruby. Aroma: Complex bouquet with aromas of black cherry and blueberry with scents of tobacco, white pepper and cedar. Palate: Rich flavours of mulberry, blackberry and prune, complimented by vanilla and subtle spices offered by oak. Well-structured with dry, rich tannins.
