    Description

    Rich and full-bodied, the 2020 Elysium is a powerful wine that’s been aged for 24 months in new French oak. Its deep ruby colour reveals a complex nose of black cherry, ripe strawberry, and hints of blueberry, with touches of dark chocolate, mocha, and a whisper of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is smooth with ripe tannins, flavours of anise and nutmeg, and a long, satisfying finish. Well-balanced acidity gives the wine a refined edge, making it both bold and elegant.

    Food Pairing: A perfect match for slow-roasted pork belly, braised game birds, or venison.

    Producer Profile

    A family owned wine producer located in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley. Established by owners Gerard Holden (a British investment banker in another life) & Migo Manz in 2010. The 22ha estate is situated between the Franschhoek River and Stony Brook at 300m above sea level.  With only 16 ha under vine, their focus has always been red grape varieties, though their stellar white wines, from the reserve Chardonnay, to the Chenin Blanc, and now Semillon requires further inspection. Best you read the critic’s notes and taste, to see for yourself!
