"A classic Cabernet with cedar spice and pencil shaving aromatics. Dense dark ruby red/black colour with ripe plums and integrated oak on the nose. Full flavoured palate and firm structure. Supple, yet fresh. Great potential for ageing and further development for the next 6-8 years."
Merlot mellows and adds more layers to great African Cab grown in a healthy chemical-free vineyard. Very ripe with blackberry and spice, and with enough structure to continue developing another 3-5 years.

Classic Stellenbosch blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes with a light tannin and good dark fruit aromas from one of South Africa's best young winemakers.
The Iberian Peninsula by way of South Africa, this is a blend of a whopping seven grapes of Spanish and Portuguese origin, fermented separately and then blended to achieve a robust wine, intense in colour and on the nose, with dark fruit flavours and a touch of pot-pourri. Acidic enough to have a soft, smooth edge, with tannins that show up just enough to provide some texture.
