ageing :

It is multi-faceted and complex and should become even more rewarding when aged.

Rhodium is a very rare metal. South Africa produces most of the world’s production. It is used in premium jewellery and as a catalyst for processes which are essentially sustainable. Rhodium embodies the attributes of this wine: it’s of South African origin, very low production and premium orientation.

The Rhodium 2012 is a blend of Merlot (53%), Cabernet Franc (40%) and Malbec (7%) and produces an elegant and refined wine, expressive of its unique terroir.
