Description

"On the nose, there is plenty of smoky, spicy, savoury red berry fruits, red apple skins, pot pouri, rose petal fragrance and red cherries with a most wonderful mineral undertone of dusty grey slate and crushed granite.While the palate is sleek and elegantly textured with polished mineral tannins, it's also taught, ultra-pure, and electrically fresh. This is a blend made in heaven. The taught fresh cherry and tart red berry fruited Cinsault is complemented by the fleshy raspberry compote and plum spice of the Grenache, while the Syrah adds savoury muscle and shape."

--------THE REGION--------

Western Cape

The Western Cape is similar to Australia's 'South Australia' region - in the ways that it is a legal region that allows for the wineries to source fruit from all of the sub-regions within the larger region. The larger region in this case is: 'Western Cape', and all the sub-regions cover every main growing area in South Africa.
