About this Item

Strydom Family Wines
The Game Changer Cabernet Franc - Merlot, 2017
24 (4 x 6) 750ml

“Wine shouldn’t be a pretentious thing. If people can see ‘Wow, I can fit in with this, nobody is going to ask me a funny question or look at me funny’, then they feel much more at home. That’s how we approach it.” - Rianie Strydom

80% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot

The grapes are grown on the Helderberg mountain on north-facing slopes. Both varieties ripened during February and were harvested during the morning. In the cellar they were rigorously sorted before whole berry fermentation in open fermenters. During the first half of fermentation we pumped over and punched down three times a day and afterwards, only twice a day. After pressing, malolactic fermentation in barrels. Blending was done after 12 months with a further six months maturation before bottling.

Tasting Notes: Perfume, glazed red cherries and fresh raspberries with hints of graphite on the nose. The palate has a soft entry, elegant spicy mid-palate, red fruit power and finishes with a chalky edge.

20 Cases of this wine were sold on the 2020 auction.

Ready for drinking in 2025.
