Full, well-balanced wine with complex flavours of cherry cigar and violets, with a lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate and a smooth tannin.

Grapes were hand harvested end February at 24o Balling. Bunches were de-stemmed, crushed and rapidly cooled in an open fermenter. Grapes were inoculated with selected yeasts to start fermentation. Skins were then pressed and the wine was left to undergo malolactic fermentation before it was racked into 4th and 5th fill French oak barrels for maturation in these barrels for 12 months.

Food pairing: U
nusual red varietal which lends itself to great food pairings. Goes well with venison and ostrich steaks, roasted lamb shank and springbok Carpaccio.
