GSM named after the large clay vessels used by the Georgians since long before recorded history.  Serve slightly chilled.

Full bodied Pinotage with aromas of coffee, dark fruit, and dark chocolate.

"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. 

Light bodied, herbaceous and savoury. An excellent introduction to an interesting and unfamiliar grape!

Approximate drinking window: 2026 to 2042 This dryland vineyard is situated just 12 km from the sea and lies at 300 m above sea-level. The soils are granite origin with a significant portion of clay in the subsoil. It was a late vintage, with great ripening conditions and very healthy fruit. The wine was picked in two batches from two vineyard sites just 100 meters from each other. The resultant wine from these two sites is energetic, concentrated and has a great fresh acidity and beautiful ageing potential.
