The natural concentration of flavour and colour through the evaporative loss of water in the grapes has resulted in a full-bodied wine with layers of flavour and big silky tannins on the palate. Beguiling aromas of cherry, red currant and violets lead to a spicy taste sensation filled with rich flavours of cedar, sour cherry and oak. 750ml R1936 / Glass R520
