Flagstone Winery
Flagstone is a winemaker-driven wine business, rather than a marketing-led business. This means we first do what is right for the grapes and the wine and only then worry about how to sell the gorgeous stuff. More than most, we are totally committed to making honest, real wine that is an authentic reflection of its provenance, even if this means taking the hard path. We believe that this is the only sustainable, honourable way. Take time to discover our wines – We are all born creative. We have been sourcing grapes from our five core vineyards since 2003. Viticultural strategies are specifically tailored to individual varieties and vineyard parameters. The natural environment in which the vines grow and bear fruit play a huge role in the style and quality of the resultant wine and we go to great lengths to study and know everything we can about that environment. This includes careful soil analysis and an on-going study of climate parameters.
Description
The 2021 Flagstone Dragon Tree Cape Blend exhibits a rich ruby red color. The nose reveals a mixture of rich dark fruit, cigar box, and minty aromas, with well-balanced wood. Sweet and spicy undertones add great depth. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, showing fresh and crisp acidity. The mid-palate offers an explosion of fruit, leading to a lingering aftertaste.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs perfectly with smoked impala carpaccio served with a roasted beetroot, strawberry, watercress, and balsamic salad. It also complements seared tuna with pak choi in a sesame-soy dressing.
