An elegant wine, distinguished by light peppery scent of deep ripe berries and soft spices, a whiff of woodsmoke and tangy savoury fruit with an elegant lingering cherry finish. Will gain in complexity with 3 to 5 years of bottle maturation. A serious wine to accompany fine cuisine. Good with red meat dishes, aged steak, hearty stews, smoked meat and chicken. South African Awards: Platter's SA Wines 2008: ***½; Woman Winemaker of the Year 2008: Finalist; Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2008: Gold medal; Veritas 2008: Silver medal.
