Enjoy with a roasted tomato-based pasta or beef brisket. Also to be enjoyed with rich, cheesy gratins and an open-fire grilled steak. The more adventurous can experiment with dark chocolate-inspired desserts.
| Nose: | Prominent red fruit aromas of raspberry and cherry take the lead, with hints of black current. Layered with subtle sweet oak notes that complement the fresh fruit character. A gentle warmth from lightly toasted French oak rounds out the nose, adding an inviting depth. |
| Variety: | 100% Merlot |
| Style: | Medium-bodied, red fruit-driven. Raspberry and cherry fruit with subtle sweet oak. |
| Palate: | Medium-bodied and juicy, with fruity flavours flowing seamlessly onto the palate. An elegant, well-integrated tannin structure delivers a smooth, balanced mouthfeel, while the wine finishes with a satisfying, lingering aftertaste true to its New World style. |
| Ageing: | 100% of this wine was matured on Lightly toasted French Oak Staves for a period of 8 to 10 months with added micro-oxygenation. |
| Food-Pairing: | Enjoy with a roasted tomato-based pasta or beef brisket. Equally delicious with rich, cheesy gratins or an open-fire grilled steak. For the more adventurous, try pairing with dark chocolate-inspired desserts. |

The grapes originate from vineyards in Stellenbosch, Wellington and Agter-Paarl. The grapes were picked at optimal fruit ripeness around 24,5 degrees Balling and were allowed to ferment with selected red wine yeast between 22 - 25 °C, with regular pump-overs and punch-downs to ensure optimal colour and flavour extraction.
