Survivor Wines
Travelling through the Swartland on the back of a truck, heading towards an auction, a Nguni cow knew a beautiful vineyard when she saw one and jumped off. She was appropriately named Survivor when the grower found her grazing in his vineyard. Pierre Wahl excels at creating powerful and elegant wines, choosing to showcase the cultivar’s fruit characteristics, embraced by an old-world elegance in structure and texture. A masterfully crafted fine wine brand that speaks to inner strength, roots, character and refined taste.
Description
The wine has a deep ruby colour, inky depth, and a hint of garnet on the rim, igniting your senses with its arresting purity of fruit. It comes alive with an amalgamation of flavours, engulfing your palate with red currant, dried cranberry, red plum, plush mulberry and juicy black plum. A subtle note of cedar and wet slate adds a cool lift to the intensity of fruit, with aromas of freshly tilled earth and spicy notes of sweet English leather catapulting you back in time. This old-world charm evokes a sense of romanticism with a subtle perfume of rose petals and violets without forfeiting its youth and vibrancy like only the new world can offer. All of these nuances traverse your senses like a pendulum swinging between its old-world essence and new-world confidence. The balance persists with uncanny fruit purity on the palate and a refreshing acidity poised on fine-grained tannin, complete with a chalky mouthfeel and a long persistent finish.
Food Pairing
