About this Item
Dry Red 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
From 4 different parcels in the Western Cape: a 38-year-old dry-farmed bush-vine Cabernet Sauvignon planted in deep alluvial soils of Stellenbosch, a 117-year-old dry-farmed bush-vine Cinsault from the historic Bisson vineyard in Wellington; a 95-year-old Lötter vineyard in Franschhoek; and another parcel of high-elevation Cabernet Franc planted on the mid slopes of the Helderberg mountain in Stellenbosch.

Critics Ratings
‘A tribute to the Cape red blends of old (those that didn’t include Pinotage), this is an almost equal amalgam of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Cinsault. Made with 100% whole bunches, it’s another triumphant release from the Mullineux. Cassis and raspberry fruit flavours are supported by acidity and fine tannins with top notes of tobacco and Earl Grey tea. 2020-30’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
