Production:

This flagship red wine of the Estate. A blend of 4 classic Bordeaux varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 25%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Malbec 5%. Very deep, intense red colour. On the nose one finds a lot of ripe, rich flavours: dark chocolate, ripe plums, hints of cigar box and slightly charred. The rich flavours follow through on the palate. The wine offers good extract on the palate with lots of tannin to ensure good maturation potential. To preserve the fine quality and complexity, this wine has not been stabilized or filtered.

Best served with…

Roast leg of Springbok studded with bacon, or rare roast beef with a wedge of Yorkshire pudding.
