The Wine The Wine
South Africa
Region:Western Cape
The 2022 vintage followed a normal to good winter, allowing the vines to have that essential period of downtime to rest up ready to go again. The harvest started fairly late after a cool spring and early summer conditions but commenced at a brisk pace after some nasty heatwaves. This is a real discovery wine and captures the winemaking movements taking place in the Cape perfectly. In previous years this would be blended away in other cuvées, but when our buyer was visiting he was utterly captivated by this wine's lifted red fruit, cherry note and the luscious creamy fruited textured palate.
