This wine displays an intense, rich plum, ruby colour. With an equal intensity on the nose, showing rich dark berries and mocha notes. Cigar box and pencil shavings shine through. On the palate this wine displays a rich integrated mouthfeel, with sweeter dark berry flavours, cedar notes and a fine tannic structure. A soft velvety finish lingers ads to the complexity and refinement. Careful use of oak helps add to the allure of the wine.

From the vineyard to the cellar the grapes go through various selection processes to ensure we get only the best fruit. Hand harvested into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar. After cold soaking, fermentation started in tank and then malolactic fermentation takes place in 300 litre French oak barrels, allowing integration of the complicated tannic structure and having a stabilizing effect on the colour.

The Western Cape offers so many unique microclimates and pockets of soil. For our flagship Bordeaux style blend we source our grapes from the Helderberg and Stellenbosch appellations. With the Helderberg offering very fertile soils, mainly consisting of Table Mountain sandstone and Cape Granite. With the Stellenbosch district including rocks of the Cape Granite Suite, the Malmesbury shale Group, the Table Mountain Sandstone Group and recent unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age. All the perfect environment with climate to grow the best Bordeaux varieties.
