On the palate
This wine presents a ruby-red core with subtle hints of ageing visible along the rim, a testament to its future potential even after ten years of ageing. The nose is elegantly layered, showing leather, cigar box tobacco, and liquorice. Black fruit notes of mulberries mingle with cedar spice, a hallmark of precise oaking. A delicate herbaceous fynbos character underpins the nose, adding a uniquely South African touch and showcasing the Helderberg Mountains terroir. On the palate, classically integrated tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity lifts the mid-palate. The palate follows the nose seamlessly as the fruit character leads to the umami-rich development. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a fresh lift and lingering fruity tannins that underscore the wine’s precision and balance. This wine showcases both its youthful vitality and the ageing potential that speaks to the vineyard’s exceptional quality and meticulous winemaking.
