TASTING NOTES:
Elegant, intense, complex
Deep crimson with purple edges
Aromas of hedgerow fruits, wild thyme, cocoa nib, flint and candied orange peel
True to this wine's aroma, the palate offers notes of blackberry, bramble and black cherry with muscular bay and tobacco. Elegant and powerful tannins give length and persistence.

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Precise vineyard management and a hands-on approach to pruning and picking results in the grapes receiving close attention.
Select batches were fermented on skins for up to 110 days, and the wines were matured on the lees for between 18-20 months in selected French oak, around 55% of which were new.
A blend of cabernet sauvignon (86%), petit verdot (10%) and merlot (4%).

FOOD PAIRING:
Pair with unctuous umami flavours
Look to the rich umami flavour of red meat, or shiitake mushrooms cooked with soy sauce and smoked paprika, to bring out this wine's complexity.
