Louisvale Dominique 2016

Region: Devon Valley Stellenbosch

Louisvale is situated at the foot of the majestic Stellenbosch mountains in the verdant Devon Valley.  The  lush, manicured vineyards produce outstanding wines. Louisvale, one of the pioneers of Chardonnay in South Africa, is still solely planted to Chardonnay. This delightful red wine  is one of our best finds of the year.  It is a harmonious, elegant  Bordeaux-style blend of  62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.  Maturation took place over one year is French oak barrels. It has intense fruit aromas of blackcurrant and plum, supported by toasted oak.  It is medium to full bodied and very smooth. Enjoy this wine over the next five years.
