Tiny production single-vineyard wine from Adi Badenhorst's best Cinsault grapes, made with carbonic maceration. Lightly coloured but packs an intense concentration of fruit.
"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."
"Complex and attractive bouquet of oriental spices with pronounced violet and white pepper flavours. It has lovely perfumed red fruit aromatics. A well-balanced wine with spicy overtones and a lingering finish. Very classic style with unmistakable Rhone flavours. Good to drink now, but will develop and mature over the next 10 years."

Light bodied Red with cherry and bush fruit aromas. There’s some mineral / stone to it on the palate. A small amount of tannins from the minority grapes in the blend but it’s very fresh tasting.
