    Description

    A rich and full-bodied Merlot, this wine is aged for 22 months in 70% new French oak, giving it depth and smoothness. The dark garnet colour leads to a nose filled with black cherry, blackberry, subtle cedar, and hints of wild fig and fynbos. On the palate, the wine opens with ripe black cherries and plum, followed by a complex, mocha-infused mid-palate and a long, velvety finish. Soft, round tannins make for a smooth, easy-drinking wine that lingers beautifully.

    Food Pairing: Perfect with lamb, roasted vegetables, or aged Comté with fresh sourdough bread.

    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!
