Winemaker’s notes
All the grapes come from our Franschhoek Estate.
Purple flowers, violets and rose petals on the nose. The Mourvédre adds savoury notes with spice in the background. This wine is very accessible early in its life with light oak and fine tannins.
Winemaking
The shiraz fermented and aged in 10% new French oak and the balance in older barrels for 10 months. The Grenache sees 10% whole bunch fermentation aged in aged in stainless steel tanks and old French oak barrels to respect the fruit.
