Tasting Note

The 2017 Red was made with grapes handpicked on the slopes of Helderberg arguably the best place in South Africa to grow Bordeaux varietals. Forming 50% of the blend, majestic, mysterious Cabernet Sauvignon takes centre stage, with stellar Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot providing aroma and structure in memorable supporting roles. Offering dark fruits presence and traces of cigar box with tannins that are firm but amiably rounded.

Food Pairing

Enjoyable now, this collectors wine will show best at 10 years after harvest, and will complement most red meat dishes something even as simple and exquisite as flame-seared grass-fed ribeye.
