Tasting note
A delicious example of young Cabernet Franc. Rich red fruit flavours abound, blackcurrants, cherries and plums. Undertones of warm spice and tobacco. Velvety soft tannins, sumptuously smooth and a very fruit driven experience. This wine is typically South Africa, friendly and inviting and accessible.
Vinification
Grapes harvested early morning, sorted, lightly crushed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks for seven days. Post-fermentation, seven days of skin contact softened tannins. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel preceded 12-month barrel aging, primarily in 3rd and 4th fill barrels.
Food Match
Roasted lamb cutlets and greens, or a lemon and herb chicken with mielie pap (corn meal) and smoor (a traditional South African tomato relish).
