Experience the refined complexity of the Uva Mira Fox’s Lair 2023, a striking premium red blend originating from the high-altitude slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. This particular vintage beautifully celebrates a unique microclimate where cool ocean breezes from nearby False Bay slow down grape ripening, preserving exceptional freshness and aromatic detail.
The 2023 growing season offered perfect cool-climate conditions with an exceptionally cold winter and abundant rainfall. On the nose, this vintage enchants with expressive aromas of wild blackberry, ripe cranberry, fresh tobacco leaf, and delicate pencil shavings. A mouthwatering savory salinity carries onto the polished palate, highlighting a pure core of fresh blackcurrant mixed with light dried herbs and fine graphite. Tight, superfine-grained tannins and bright acidity give the wine a beautifully vibrant, creamy texture through to a persistent finish.
