The wine is made in a modern style, being fruit forward and providing a lot of freshness and pure fruit expression.
A perfume of berry fruit fills the glass. An attractive combination of sour cherry, raspberry and a hint of blackberry finished off with a twist of spice. It’s a medium bodied wine with soft tannins. The fruit is supported by a zippy acidity that makes for a well-balanced wine.

Napolitano pasta, meat lover’s Pizza, Beef Carpaccio, decadent hamburger and definitely a festive barbeque.

in the vineyard : The 2020 vintage was really challenging, due to the prolonged drought which was accompanied by water restrictions, and which some believe to be the worst in 100 years. The expertise of the vineyard team and cellar were put to the test by the warm and dry climatic conditions. We adapted our practices both in the vineyard and the cellar, to decrease the effect of water shortages. The dry weather throughout the season did have its advantages, as vines were healthy, with little or no pests or diseases being recorded in most regions. The dry, warm weather resulted in smaller berries with great intensity.

about the harvest: The Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz harvest did not disappoint, delivering wines with an abundance of fruit and beautiful balance.
