Nose:
A lively red blend mixing blackcurrant and dark plum with spicy Shiraz pepper, violet florals and a hint of cedar. Bright fruit aromas are supported by subtle herbal notes and soft oak spice.
Palate:
Medium-bodied, the palate shows cassis and blackberry fruit layered with dark cherry, peppercorn and clove. Tannins are smooth but firm, providing structure while preserving drinkability. The finish is moderately long, with subtle oak spice and a mineral undertone.
Ageing Potential:
Enjoyable now, with potential to mature gracefully over 5-7 years, gaining spice, leather, and subtle earthy notes.
Food Pairings:
Braai lamb chops, burger patties, grilled steak, spicy stews or hearty casseroles.
Moment Pairing:
Casual dinners, weekend braais, or relaxed evenings with friends.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Grapes sourced from a mix of cooler Franschhoek microclimates and warmer valley slopes - blending to balance freshness and ripeness. Harvest done carefully to respect varietal character.
Vinification:
Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz vinified separately, then blended. Matured in a mix of seasoned and new oak barrels to tame tannins and enhance spice and structure.
