Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Bordeaux-style blend drawing on Stellenbosch's reputation for structured, fruit-driven reds, this wine leads with blackcurrant and dark plum supported by cedary oak and a hint of dried herbs. The Cabernet Sauvignon backbone gives it firm but approachable tannins, while Merlot rounds out the mid-palate and Cabernet Franc adds a subtle herbal lift. It's a well-composed, food-friendly red that should pair comfortably with red meats and aged cheeses.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
