AWARDS

John Platter 2008 - 4 Stars

There is always one family member who imposes his personality on the others - and with good reason because he is imposing, unswerving and knows what he wants from life. He is Arnoldus. A man with gravitas. Die Arnoldus is the flagship red of Hermanuspietersfontein - a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec & Petit Verdot.
