Description

A polished wine, from its silky tannins to its dark wood spice, it oozes black plum and mulberry fruit that is succulent without being jammy. There are violets on the nose, dark chocolate too, but lasting impressions are of pleasingly savory, from black pepper to smoked meats.

Soft and voluptuous enough to be enjoyed on release, it has the structure to start reaching its full potential after about five years.
The wine was made in traditional open fermenters which enable plunging and pump overs to be done with ease. The wine was matured for 18 months in French oak barrels (20% new) 

Winemaker: Hattingh de Villiers
