La Vierge Wines
The heart of our conviction is simple yet deliberate. Trust the Site. 20 years ago, Peter Clarke founded the farm up in the cool heights of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Here, in a natural and beautiful ampitheatre, he chose the purity of planting dryland vineyards on virgin soils. Each block is exposed to unique aspects of soil and climate, rewarding us with layered and complex fruit that provides the foundation for our wines that are unveiled in our cellar to reveal their full expression of terroir and vintage.
Description
This wine express the typical Cabernet Sauvignon profile of blueberry and mulberry along with subtle hints of leather and spice, while the Cabernet Franc shows floral and subtle dried herb characters. The Merlot bring the vibrant red berry and juiciness to the palate. The Malbec brings a lush juicy palate and rich colour to the wine. While the Petit Verdot brings an array of dark fruit and grip to the wine. The fine grained tannins and elegant mineral core will see this wine drinking well on release and developing for at least 5-7years.
Food Pairing
Enjoy this wine with red meat, venison and cheese platters.
