Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot
Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Bordeaux-style blend from Stellenbosch with Syrah added — Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot alongside it, which is a distinctly Cape combination rather than a French one. Blackcurrant and dark plum with the Syrah's pepper and violet lift, cedar and cocoa from oak, and the savoury, faintly smoky earthiness that marks good Stellenbosch reds. Full-bodied with firm fine tannin and a long dry finish. Structured for the cellar and worth five to ten years.
