Some of the best Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot find their origins in the Stellenbosch region. Being cooler, the region gives the wine body and fruit intensity. This multi-layered wine has good sucrosite, hints of violets, attractive blackcurrant and cassis flavours on the nose. Subtle nuances of cloves and vanilla culminate in a soft mouth-filling tannin finish.
This palatable full-bodied wine pairs well with a variety of red meat dishes, e.g. steak, roast, venison, casseroles and stews.
