Tasting Notes

Over 2 decades of producing this Estate wine, the wine is ever increasing in quality and becoming more consistent in expressing the terroir of the Helderberg Mountains. Wine shows off pure fruit and earthy notes complimented by classical pencil lead-like aromas. A typical dry tannin structure with a seamless balance to the finish.
