This wine displays a gorgeous dark purple core in the glass. An inviting nose of newly-turned earth, black plums, maraschino cherries, rosemary and fennel. The palate is refreshing, with a balanced acidity and plushy tannins. Flavours of vibrant dark chocolate and mocha can be found, in addition to rhubarb and star anise. The wine is complex and inviting, with a grapefruit and tobacco finish. A delightful wine that is bound to be a conversation starter - and should be a regular addition to everyone’s dinner table.

The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes were harvested from the North-Easterly facing vineyard on Rondekop. All grapes were stored in a cold-room overnight and then de stemmed and sorted by hand, spending five days in a tank to cold soak. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc berries were crushed, and Merlot berries kept whole. Pump overs were performed up to three times per day, were gently basket pressed once fermentation completed.

Cool, wet climatic conditions created an opportunity to replenish water reserves in2021. Although the winter rainfall started late, regular cold fronts contributed more precipitation than in the previous season. Despite sustained cool conditions, the flowering and fruit set periods were moderate and ideal. The moderate growing season resulted in lush canopies. Véraison followed the seasonal trend and was generally up to 14 days later than the previous season. Ripening was consistently about 10-14 days later than the previous year, and the ripening period was moderate with minimal precipitation during this time.
