The first vintage of this new vineyard was planted in the Jonkershoek Valley in 2015. It is a distinctive style with all the hallmarks of the Jonkershoek Valley which is known for its balance of elegance and power. Intense dark colour. The nose shows restraint, with deep underlying aromas, of complex blue and black berry perfumes. Cedary aromas, so typical of a Jonkershoek wine. The palate is nervous and fresh followed by fine, but dense tannins. This is a wine which is built to last and for early drinking would benefit with decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry of origin: South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllergen Information: Contains sulphites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrape variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrent vintage: 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegional information: The grapes were sourced from a south-west facing trellised vineyard grown in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTasting notes: Intense dark colour.
