This wood-matured and elegant red wine shows prominent dark berry fruit flavours with a rounded, smooth mouthfeel. The richly complex savoury notes and white pepper spice of the Shiraz complement the luscious black cherry flavours of Grenache, while the Viognier adds a gentle lift of floral scents. The winemaker’s blending skills ensure a wine of harmony and finesse with a lingering finish.

The different batches of selected grapes were picked at optimum ripeness at different times and separately fermented slowly at warmer temperatures of 24° - 27° Celsius to prevent over-extraction of tannins, resulting in blends with smoothness and elegance. Each variety was vinified separately and then carefully blended before being matured in second and third-fill French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months.

This Rhône style blend comprises mostly Shiraz from vineyards in the warmer Paardeberg area. The Grenache and Viognier grapes are from Northern Paarl where the well-drained soils are predominantly shale and granite, responsible for good fruit structure and fresh acidity respectively. Each year the percentages of the various components vary in order to bring out the best character of each different variety to achieve a skilful and harmonious blend of complexity and elegance.
