SOLD OUT

Creation Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit Verdot 2012

Dense,blue-black in colour with seductive hues of violet. The sumptuous berry bouquet tempts with generous blackberry and blackcurrant aromas against a background of smoky oak. The palate is in perfect harmony with the nose: taut and richly flavoured, with well-integrated tannins promising excellent maturation potential. A Bordeaux-style blend grown and made in the Hemel-en-Aarde.

Wonderful with game and red meat. Decant before tasting.
