Product Details

From selected vineyards in the prime red wine growing area of the Devon Valley near Stellenbosch. Mediterranean - summers are warm and dry, whilst sea breezes from the nearby False Bay cool the vineyards in the afternoons. The winters are wet and cold with a high average rainfall.

Grape Variety : Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz

The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 3 days on their skins in open fermenting tanks. After fermentation the skins are pressed in traditional basket presses. Now the wine is racked and goes into 225l oak barrels (80% French, 20% American) for 4 months. After barrel maturation the wine is blended (75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Shiraz), fined and bottled.

The wine has a deep garnet colour. Spicy and peppery on the nose with well integrated berry flavours from the Cabernet. A medium to full bodied wine with lots of fruit and a lingering after taste.

Can be enjoyed now - will also benefit from 3 - 5 years bottle maturation.
