"Attractive deep red colour. Lovely spice, plums and other beguiling dark fruit on the nose. Hints of
fynbos (herbal) notes and complimentary oak component. These flavours follow through on the big,
but fine palate. Generous alcohol, complex fruit, firm fine tannins and acidity balance each other to
give a plush mouthfeel and lingering aftertaste.
Best now to 2035. Ideal with baked pasta (such as cannelloni) and various light red meat dishes
such as veal, lamb and pork. "

"An exceptional vintage. Following the hot and dry 2016 season, berries were particularly small and the vineyards very healthy, with adequate, balanced growth. Ideal cooler weather during harvest time with cool nights and no substantial heatwaves. An elegant, promising vintage, similar to 2007.
Handpicking into 20 kg lugboxes. Destemming and gentle crushing directly into small 2 ton open top fermentation tanks. Spontaneous natural yeast fermentation at max. 30°C with the cap of skins punched down manually 1-3 times a day for 10 days. Wine drained directly to barrels together with single pressing from traditional basket press. Malolactic fermentation in the barrel. 35% new French oak. Time in barrel 19 months, which included several rackings to gradually clarify the wine and assist maturation. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered by hand on the property.
Bottling date: 20/09/2018
