He selects grapes that offer a perfect blend of ripeness and soft structure for immediate enjoyment. This commitment to quality earned the wine a Double Gold Medal at the Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards for the 2020 vintage. It also ranks highly among South African reds for its exceptional “Ultra Value” status.
The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, you will find a generous and soft texture with velvety tannins that glide across the tongue. Hints of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and vanilla add a sophisticated layer to the core of red berry fruit. Because the winery keeps sulphur levels to a minimum, the wine retains a fresh and vibrant character in every glass. You will enjoy a long, silky finish that makes it an ideal choice for both casual sipping and formal hosting.
