Nose:
Soft and inviting aromas of plum, red cherry, and mulberry, complemented by hints of cocoa, violet, and subtle spice. A gentle herbal undertone adds finesse.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with smooth, supple tannins and a velvety texture. Ripe red fruit - plum and cherry - dominates, with soft oak spice and a hint of cocoa adding complexity. The finish is warm, moderately long, and approachable.
Ageing Potential:
Ready to enjoy now, with 4-6 years potential to evolve towards darker fruit and earthy savouriness.
Food Pairings:
Roast pork, mushroom dishes, tomato-based pastas, or mild braai meats.
Moment Pairing:
Casual dinners, mid-week meals, or relaxed weekend lunches.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Grown on well-drained granite soils in a cool Franschhoek microclimate to retain natural acidity and varietal purity.
Vinification:
Fermented gently to preserve soft fruit characters; matured in older oak for smoothness and balance without heavy oak imprint.
