A benchmark wine for the region from a consistently high performing vineyard. The wine is matured in a large French Oak Vat for 23 months prior to bottling. Once again we see a well of aromas that reveal themselves the further into the depths you go. Black sapote, prune plums and blackberry. Granite, crushed volcanic rock and clove studs. African violets poke up through the undergrowth in a blossom of sweetness amongst earthy wood and oak tones. Grated nutmeg, cumin and cinnamon quill. It’s well built with upright tannins and tailored acidity. Drink now and will cellar very well, say 6-8 years. Drink with spiced and cured meats like Biltong and Bresola.
