About this Item
“The perception of our wine is not based on a story or on an idea; it is based on what is in the bottle.” - Abrie Beeslaar
69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot
• One of the first Bordeaux-style blends made in South Africa.
• 30-year-old vineyards were used to make this wine.
• Low-yielding vineyard blocks at 2-5 T / Ha.
• Traditional manual punch-downs were carried out during fermentation in open top fermenters (kuipe).
• Matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months.
• The first South African wine to score 100 points from Tim Atkin.
Tasting Notes: A typical expression of cassis and liquorice on the nose. The palate shows tension that flows into a fresh, savoury aftertaste.
Ready for drinking from 2025.
