Description Blend: 43% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot Our Flagship Red Wine offers delicate flavours of fynbos, cedar and cigar box, all beautifully wrapped in blackberry fruit. The palate is reminiscent of spice, dark chocolate and cinnamon with elegant and soft tannins. This is a unique wine which will intrigue even the best connoisseur. Will age beautifully over the next 5-7 years. Paired with confit of duck or a rich and delectable oxtail potjie. Serve at 16-18 Deg. Additional Info: Grapes were sourced from select mountain vineyards in Banghoek, Stellenbosch for their unique character. After harvesting and cooling, they were sorted, crushed and cold-soaked at 7 °C for 4 days. Following inoculation with selected yeast, pump-overs began—except for the Merlot, which underwent manual punch-downs for better flavour and colour extraction. Extended maceration (up to 24 days) added depth and structure. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel, followed by 18 months of maturation in French oak (60% new, 40% second-fill) before blending and bottling.
