Grape Variety : Syrah 57% Mourvèdre 32% Grenache 11% . The Syrah and Mourvèdre were matured separately in 100% new French and American oak for 18 months. The Grenache is unoaked to preserve its natural fruit character. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrels.
Appearance : Inky black
Bouquet : Distinct savoury aromas make the initial impression, developing into rich chocolate and coffee flavours that finishes off with the fruit component of plum and blackcurrants.
Palate : Pleasing black fruit flavours follow-through from the bouquet dominating the palate. These are gently supported by an array of savoury flavours, notes of vanilla and spices from the shiraz.
Impression : Full bodied and powerful. Beautifully layered- a genuinely complex wine, with a full mouth-feel, integrated tannin structure and a lingering finish.
Food pairing : Ostrich carpaccio, venison pie, or boeuf bourgignon (traditional Burgundian red wine marinated beef dish). Another suggestion would be springbok medallions with cranberry and pepper sauce.
John Platter : 4 stars
