Bordeaux Blends (containing two or more of the following: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec).

The wines were made separately and matured in 85% first-fill and 15% second-and third-fill barrels for 23 months. ORGANOLEPTIC DESCRIPTION Dry, full-bodied red wine. COLOUR Deep, saturated dark ruby. BOUQUET Wondrous graphite and cedar element which seamlessly incorporates every other component – brambles, spiced black cherries, blueberries, plums, oregano, thyme, fresh walnuts and a beautiful floral element of violets and pansies. TASTE The velvety tannins produce ripples of sappy freshness and bring texture and context to the fruit; sleek, supple and sinuous. This opulent wine befits its royal name and has all the attributes of greatness. Deceptively approachable now but will grow in stature and complexity over the next ten years.

A wine to star at the table where the foodshould play the supporting role – rare roast beef or kudu fillet with a red wine sauce, roast lamb with rosemary or venison carpaccio with shaved parmesan.
