About this Item

2015, 2017, 2018 Rianie Strydom - Strydom Family Wines - The Gamechanger Cabernet Franc Merlot
6 (3 x 2)

6 x 750ml bottles, comprising 2 bottles each of the following vintages of Strydom Family Wines The Gamechanger Cabernet Franc Merlot: 2015, 2017 and 2018

This special box of the first three vintages, made in a similar style to Right Bank Bordeaux, brings back fond memories of the 1998 vintage that I spent working in France close to St Emilion where these varieties reign supreme. The varieties Cabernet Franc and Merlot have always been very dear to my heart from an early age in my career, so I feel very privileged that I am able to make this stunning blend on the CWG platform, the pinnacle of quality in my whole range.

The grapes are grown on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in Stellenbosch and were brought into the cellar in pristine condition. Only two barrels are made each year. Blending was done after twelve months in barrel and then matured for a further six months in barrel before bottling.

These wines can still mature for up to another 10 years.

This wine is packed in a wooden box.
