Tasting Notes
The wine presents an intense and deep red colour, revealing a complex aroma of musk, cinnamon, cloves, red cherries, cigar box and all spice. It has a broad, juicy, and silky-smooth palate with heaps of red fruit, roasted almonds, and maraschino cherries. Fine, textured tannins crescendos to an exceptionally long finish.

Food Complements
This legacy wine calls for hearty meals – complex, concentrated layers of fruit and sweet, firm, rounded tannins will compliment rich stews and pair perfectly with venison, roast lamb or beef, while the finesse and elegance of the wine will stand up to matured cheeses such as Cheddar or Gouda.

Vintage
The 2015 vintage was particularly dry and windy during flowering, which resulted in a 15% smaller crop in the coastal region. As a result of this, the harvest was 10 to 15 days earlier than normal, the vineyard growth was less, and the bunches were smaller. These conditions, however, produced berries with a much higher concentration of fruit flavours. Taking all of this inconsideration, the 2015 vintage has the potential to be one of the finest vintages in recent years – if not the best in recent memory.
