This full-bodied red wine exhibits a beautiful deep ruby color that entices the senses. Its acidity is lively and bright, providing a refreshing balance to the rich and prominent fruit intensity. The wine boasts a delightful medley of dark cherry and plum flavors, complemented by subtle hints of chocolate and smoke, which highlight its complexity. Tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, contributing to a structured mouthfeel that lingers beautifully on the palate. The wine is well-crafted, with a dry profile that leaves a satisfying finish, making it an excellent choice for hearty dishes or an intimate evening.

Region:


Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
