The Helderberg mountain in Stellenbosch is know for making wines with good aging potential. This wine has an intense violet red colour. Inviting warms aromas of earthy berries, crushed violets and ripe plums, the palate follows with similar flavours but perceived as slightly fresher and more elegant than expected from the intensity of the aromatics.
ageing : A wine which can be enjoyed young but also has the potential to age well.
3rd year of drought in the Western Cape, becoming very noticeable in the natural mountain vegetation and low dam levels. Low winter rains but followed by near perfect growing conditions, moderate temperatures and lack of heat waves during harvest. Vineyards remained very healthy and produced lovely bunches, smaller than usual berries giving great concentration. Wines are extremely classical in style, with tight tannin structures and lovely acidities. Reds are going to be great talking points in the future.
