Vintage: Vintage 2019 will long be remembered for the raging wildfire that swept across the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on the 11 January – less than three weeks before the first grapes were picked. We were fortunate not to be severely impacted and brought in a healthy, although slightly lighter crop. The reduced yield being the result of milder than normal winter temperatures. Weather conditions remained cool and relatively dry throughout February and March.
Tasting Notes: A thought-provokingly unique blend. Aromatic leather, cured meat and violet notes frame flavours of red cherry, licorice and rooibos tea. Surprisingly taut and fine-grained, it displays polish and intense complexity. Hints of tabacco on thefinish, while fresh acidity keeps the balance. Tension and focussed depth - drink
Food Pairing: Aubergine and mozzarella bake, chevre cheese, and red meats!
