Our Flagship Red Wine. Welcomed by delicate flavours of fynbos, cedar and cigar box. All beautifully wrapped in black berry fruit. The palate reminds of spice, dark chocolate and cinnamon with elegant and soft tannins. This is a unique wine which will intrigue even the best connoisseurs.

Paired with confit of duck or a rich and delectable oxtail potjie with jacket sweet potatoes, this wine bring out the heart in any meal.
