Mooiplaas Langtafel Red 2009

The object with the Langtafel range is pleasant drinking with good value. 2008 was a good vintage for reds, producing wines with intense colour and very nice bery flavours in the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, oak staves was added after blending to enhance complexity, without losing sight of the initial objective i.e. a soft and very drinkable, fruit driven wine.
