The wine shows aromatics of delicate violets, dark plum fruits and licorice notes which has layered subtle notes of earthiness and leather spice, brought in by the Mourvedre component. The palate follows the aromatics of the nose with similar violet and earthy spice notes. The wine shows generosity for a vintage which is known for more elegant and finely textured wines. The tannins presented are soft and granular with a fruit-forward finish due to the use of strictly older barrels for ageing.

Pairs well with lean red meats, such as venison, as well as a variety of earthy components.

in the vineyard : Grapes are sourced from vineyards which are grown in the Stellenbosch region. However, from the 2007 vintage, almost all the fruit comes off Waterford Estate. The average age of the vineyards is 20 years old, which makes them well established vineyards.

in the cellar : No new wood is used in the making of this wine. Gentle vinification methods such as whole berry fermentation and soft extraction methods by means of only pump overs brings out the purity in this wine.
