Description
The South African wine-growing region is among the northernmost vintages of the southern hemisphere. The vines cultivated by Rupert & Rothschild winemakers extend over more than 100 hectares.
The estate is located at the foot of Simonsberg Mountain between Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. It is near the country's west coast in the heart of Capetown Province and its historic wine region. This fabulous terroir benefits from the cool temperatures carried by Antarctica's Benguela current and from strong sun exposure that helps the grapes ripen in a quasi-Mediterranean climate.
Tasting
Eye : Ruby, greedy and silky
Nose : Enticing aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant and plum with hints of nettle, pine and fresh coriander.
Palate : Polished, silky tannins unfold on the palate with flavours of cranberry and dark chocolate.
Enjoy it with slow-cooked, herbed lamb shoulder or chocolate and mango fudge.
