Fynbos, rooibos tea and a touch of tobacco lead the bouquet of this earthy red. Blackberry sauce, plum and boysenberry follow suit to provide a fruity core and carry through to the medium-plus palate alongside bold, gripping tannins and a firm structure. Ample acidity helps to keep the balance in check, and while this is currently intense, it is so in balance, with all elements working together to form a cohesive whole. This will mature well, so enjoy now (with a good decant) and through 2031.

A balanced, medium-bodied red, with dark berry and cherry fruit that's ripe, juicy and enriched by hints of mocha, dried fig, melted licorice and loamy earth. Supple tannins and a touch of orange peel acidity keep this focused and harmonious. Drink now through 2025. 1,600 cases made, 500 cases imported.
