Guardian Peak
Guardian Peak wines were conceived in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht who combined his knowledge and understanding of international wine markets with his experience and involvement at his family wine estate Rust en Vrede in Stellenbosch. The objective was to create a range of wines that should be accessible to the consumer in both style and price. Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from the Breedekloof and Stellenbosch appellations where we enjoy long-term contracts with respected growers. More importantly we view our contracts as relationships whereby both parties bene t mutually. Two decades later and our beliefs remain to produce approachable sustainable wines of consistent quality allowing our consumer to experience value and enjoy them as often as we do.
Description
The 2016 Lapa displays more restraint than previous vintages with subtle characteristics of dark fruits and ceder aromas on the nose. Hints of tobacco and smoky cigar box enhances the wonderful complexity of the aroma. The substantially fruit driven palate of blackcurrant and black cherry is supported by smooth, ripe tannins. The balanced wooded characteristic and long lasting finish adds to the elegance and charm of this wine.
Food Pairing
Grilled beef sirloin with gaufrette potatoes, soft poached egg and mushroom jus.
