Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Ripe blackcurrant and plum core, black cherry, dark berry compote; Shiraz adds spiced blackberry, cracked black pepper and raspberry. Secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, dark chocolate, and subtle vanilla/cola from new oak. Light floral violets and earthy fynbos/mineral lift.
  • Palate: Medium–full body, ripe concentrated fruit up front (blackcurrant, plum, ripe blackberry). Structured, ripe tannins from Cabernet give grip; Shiraz brings plush mid-palate and spice. Balanced acidity, integrated oak (toast, vanilla), and a hint of cocoa/espresso on the finish.
  • Finish: Long, savory finish with lingering dark fruit, black pepper spice and dry, chewy tannins.

Food Pairing Notes

Food pairings: Grilled or roasted red meats, braised short ribs, lamb, game, aged hard cheeses, spiced barbecues.

Winemaker Notes
