Mary Le Bow
The Drift Farm is an education in generational thinking. It’s a family focus. Sometimes it’s a frank reflection of personal failure. But the mistakes and disappointments are only the slippery steps up a beautiful mountain slope. This is farming after all. When you pause for breath and look around at the view the stumbling is forgotten. You realise you are still going forward and upward for all the right reasons. What a privilege. Your eyes and nose and lungs are flooded with freshness and this seeps into your soul. Your weariness disappears. You feel more. You sense more. You can’t help smiling and it starts in your heart. Life and this clamorous endeavour called living are put into perspective.
Description
A warm rich deep ruby red in glass with a watery edge. Beautiful complex nose of blackcurrant, persimmon, cassis, mulberry fruits, buchu and juniper, which follow through to the palate. Layer upon layer of flavour reveals rich mulberry, cassis and mocha flavours. Pure elegance and sophistication.
Food Pairing
Go Bold – a rich, full flavoured, classically styled Cabernet wine with unusual ageability. A big wine for a special occasion. Try with veal cutlet and pommery mustard sauce, or grilled sirloin on the bone with a bordelaise red wine reduction and classic roasted root veggies.
