Cape Blend

Current Vintage – 2024

A blend of 60% Pinotage, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 5% Roobernet, matured in small new French oak barrels for a total period of 18 months.

A beautifully expressive Cape Blend showing a dense, deep crimson colour. The nose is layered and complex, with aromas of dark hedgerow fruits and black cherry, supported by notes of kirsch liqueur, ripe plum, sweet baking spices and cloves. The palate is plush yet refined, with finely grained, ripe tannins providing excellent structure and balance. Flavours of red and black fruits, gentle spice and fruit pastille notes follow through seamlessly. Well-integrated new oak supports the fruit beautifully, with fresh, balanced acidity carrying the wine through to a long, elegant finish.

Maturation potential → 2032 – 2034.

The perfect complement for Bobotie with fragrant Cape Malay spices, chargrilled snoek with apricot glaze, venison pie, duck breast with cherry glaze, and bittersweet chocolate truffles.
