This vintage from 2007 showcases a medium-bodied profile, with a well-balanced acidity that complements its fruit-forward character. Aromas of ripe blackcurrants and plums mingle gracefully, backed by subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones. The tannins present are firm yet approachable, adding structure without overpowering the overall experience. This wine is crafted to be dry, allowing the lush fruit flavors to shine while maintaining a refreshing finish. Perfect for various occasions, it is truly a testament to the quality and passion evident in the wines of the 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.
