Hillcrest
Hillcrest Estate is a boutique winery, nestled in the Tygerberg Hills on the outskirts of Durbanville. Only a 30-minute drive from Cape Town, this unique estate offers visitors a host of activities, a casual style restaurant, delicious olives and award-winning wines. It is the terroir of the farm’s vineyards, cooled by afternoon sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, which sets it apart in one of the prime grape growing regions of the Western Cape.
Description
The Saartjie Malbec is a luscious single-vineyard wine displaying beautifully complex flavours of black cherry and plums. There are hints of spice on the palate and lovely floral notes coming through on the nose. This is a well-balanced wine with accessible supple tannins. Drinking well now but can be aged further.
Food Pairing
Blue Cheese Burger. Blue cheeseburgers have a bold flavor, but they make an excellent pairing with Malbec.
