Description: Ruby red in colour, this classic, multi-faceted Bordeaux styled blend shows aromas of plum, violets, clove spice and cigar box. On the palate, hints of raspberry, boiled sweets and liquorice is accompanied by a chalky tannin structure and layers of sweet spice with an overall seamless finish.
Winemaking Notes: This blended wine is from various vineyards across the estate. We are in the fortunate position to have a great diversity of vineyard slopes, soil types, row direction and cultivar clones on the property. This makes for different micro climates which results into a broad spectrum of wine aromatics, tannin and acidity levels to work and blend with. All that eventually adds to the final wines having a great level of depth and complexity.
Food Pairing: This classic Bordeaux style blend works well with the earthy tones of braaied springbok and textures of beetroot. Sour raspberries picks up deep fruit flavours in the wine, while the smokey elements help personify a cherry cigar box aroma on the nose. A well-rounded dish paired with this bold blend helps to create a seamless finish on a chilly winter’s day.
