Lea & Sandeman review
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Vinified separately, 80% in a combination of French and American new oak barriques and the remainder unoaked. Very fine, with crisp fresh fruit, lovely texture and a long palate. Top notch.Other reviews and comments
A wine that bears testimony to the unique terroir of the vineyards; it reflects both the quality and diversity of the property as a whole. It was another challenge for us; to construct a six-varietal blend, a first for South Africa at the time of release of the maiden 2003 vintage. The cultivars; Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, are micro-vinified and then blended after 15 months barrel maturation.
