TASTING NOTES:
Each component of this Cape blend offers its own qualities. This year’s wine shows an explosion of fruit on the nose, which is largely attributable to the Pinotage component. The Pinotage is soft and sweet while the Merlot offers a subtle spiciness. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of the blend. Ripe tannins with an innate softness that will mature with cellaring. Full on the palate with a sweetness on the finish. This blend brings the best of Pinotage to the classic French varieties.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C.
FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS: Serve with a spicy tomato stew made with sun-ripened tomatoes or a black mushroom risotto
VARIETALS: 41% Cabernet Sauvignon 29% Merlot 30% Pinotage
