Tasting Notes
72% Merlot, 17% Shiraz, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot is the backbone of the blend and from vines planted in 2003. Elevation from 100m-150m. Soil types fall mainly under the heavier Klapmuts, over decomposed granite. Claylies 1m-1.2mdown.
The 18 year old Shiraz vines produce wines reminiscent of cooler European style Syrah, with white pepper, abundant raspberries and strawberries. Harvested in batches between early and the middle of March.
Cabernet Sauvignon component comes from a 21 year old block. Small berries contribute to the richness of the wine
Lighter on the palate yet plush red fruit give roundness and warmth. Serve slightly chilled.
