Nose:
Deep and evocative with aromas of dark plum, black cherry, cracked black pepper, violets, and a touch of smoked meat. A subtle spicy oak undertone adds depth.
Palate:
Full-bodied with firm but refined tannins. Flavours of blackberry, plum, pepper, and dark chocolate are layered and intensify mid-palate. A long finish shows savoury spice, smoke, and a peppery lift.
Ageing Potential:
Excellent cellaring potential - 8-10 years, evolving toward leather, earth, and complex spice.
Food Pairings:
Chargrilled lamb, venison stew, pepper-crusted steak, or smokey barbecue dishes.
Moment Pairing:
Winter dinners, fireside meals, or long, slow-cooked feasts.
Vineyards & Harvest:
Vines grown on granitic soils in Franschhoek's cool mountain slopes, ripening slowly to preserve freshness and aromatic integrity.
Vinification:
Fermented in open-top vats with gentle extraction. Matured in French oak barrels to integrate tannins and add subtle oak spice without overpowering the fruit.
