Quoin Rock
The name Quoin Rock found its inspiration from the Agulhas area the most southern tip of Africa where Quoin Point is the second most southernly point and where Quoin Rock Wines’ conservation farm Boskloof is located. Ships rounding the cape on their way back from or to markets in the east from the mid-1400’s to these modern times would stop over at the cape of good hope — todays Table Bay Harbour Cape Town to replenish their boats with fresh produce. Farms like Quoin Rock would rush produce to the harbour and from the late 1660’s wines from South Africa started forming part of the goods delivered to the port. Now just over 350 years later South African wines are still exported from Table Bay harbour. While wine production is the main activity at Quoin Rock in Stellenbosch the Agulhas farm Boskloof focuses on conservation. Bontebok springbok eland and zebra have been reintroduced to this area.
Description
On the nose, the QR Red Blend 2017 has complex layers of dark berries, ripe plums, cranberries, black olives, leather, vanilla and hints of oak. On the palate, it delivers big, structured layers of fruit, tomato cocktail and wood before finishing with elegant yet lingering velvety tannins. A beautiful example of new-world fruit and old-world elegance.
Food Pairing
Pair this magnificent red with rich roasted meats or aged Wagyu steaks barbecued on the bone.
