This vintage from 2009 envelops the senses with its inviting aroma of ripe red fruits, complemented by enticing notes of spice and a subtle hint of earthiness. The wine is quite full-bodied, offering a rich and opulent mouthfeel that tantalizes the palate. Its acidity is bright and engaging, providing excellent balance and a refreshing quality that enhances the overall drinking experience. The tannins are medium, adding structure without overpowering the delightful fruit characteristics.

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.
