A warm rich red in glass. Beautiful complex nose of blackcurrant, persimmon, cassis, mulberry fruits, buchu and juniper, which follow through to the palate. Layer upon layer of flavour reveals rich mulberry, cassis and mocha flavours. Pure elegance and sophistication.

AWARDS
Swiss International Air Line Awards 2005 - Gold
in the vineyard : Kenneth Frater wanted to grow beautifully balanced vines in a spectacular, secluded mountain Kloof. This kloof was blessed with rich, well-drained ancient soils. High up into the brooding mountain, the climate is characterised by biting, cold winters and sun-downer inducing summers.

He wanted to make a wine that reflected this compelling beauty, while effortlessly displaying the hallmarks of the great wines (many of them European) he had enjoyed throughout his remarkable life. He dreamed of a wine that almost trembled with power, but never needed to flex its muscle to be enjoyed.

I am very privileged to have been asked by Angela Frater and her children to carry this vision into a bottle. I hope I have done Kenneth proud.
