Reserve

Western Cape 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14%Merlot

Indulge in the exquisite charm of Gun Bay Reserve, a masterful blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot, hailing from the scenic Western Cape. This wine offers a full-bodied experience, characteristic of the region's robust winemaking heritage. The bouquet greets you with bright, lively acidity, balancing beautifully with firm, structured tannins, a hallmark of its Cabernet backbone, softened slightly by the Merlot. As you sip, you're enveloped in rich, dark fruit flavors, boasting prominent notes of blackcurrants and ripe plum, amplified by hints of tobacco and spice. This wine captivates with its pronounced fruit intensity, making every glass a powerful yet harmonious encounter. Western Cape, known for its stunning landscapes and exceptional viticulture, truly shines in this luxurious and confident red blend.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
