Flagstone Treaty Tree Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2020

Deep ruby red with garnet rim. On the nose summer fruits like strawberry, cherry and black-ripe youngberry, cassis, fennel and the faintest hint of basil. The serious, creamy palate is complemented by concentrated flavours of black cherry, wild mint, blueberry and dark chocolate.

This Bordeaux blend pairs well with any beef or game bird dishes, like rosemary braised lamb shanks or a hearty venison pie!

This wine is named after Cape Town’s ancient Treaty Tree still standing in Woodstock. In 1509 this wind-sculptured Milkwood witnessed the massacre by local Khoi San of 64 of d’Almeidas infamous, battle-hardened Portuguese marines, who had foolishly abducted a Khoi San baby and attempted to take the infant back to their ships waiting in Table Bay. Then in 1806 a Peace Treaty was signed beneath its boughs after the British forces defeated the Batavian Republic at the Battle of Blaauwberg.
