The bouquet offers up shy plum and black fruit with a trace of roasting coffee beans. The palate is taut, controlled and appears leashed, ready to reveal its true range of flavours: spicy plum and blackcurrant notes brushed with a touch of fynbos.There is a good platform of oak which will meld ever more agreeably with the rich fruit notes over time.The finish is long and succulent and reveals an interesting saline nuance.

As a result of the drought that occurred before, the South African vintage of 2019 reached an all-time low. This vintage is expected to produce wines of high quality, despite the fact that the crop was smaller than usual. When the berries are smaller, it is possible to achieve a good concentration of flavour as well as a balance between the acidity and sugar levels. All of these factors contribute to the quality that is expected for the 2019 vintage. This wine was made with grapes from our Riebeeksrivier farm in the Swartland, which is located on the Malmesbury side of the Riebeek Kasteel Mountain. Our vineyards are located on the southern and western slopes of the mountain.This wine comes from the southern slopes, where the soil is richer in clay and mixed with Malmesbury shale.The combination of slope and soil results in this deeper and richer style red blend.

Cape Of Good Hope

This is a range created in recognition of the Cape of Good Hope’s vinous heritage which stretches back more than 350 years when the first Governor of the Cape planted grapes. These unique wines are the result of irreplaceable parcels of old vines and site specific terroirs. The labels reflect the grape variety as well as the origin and singular characters behind them.
